A novel treatment approach involving a modified distal sympathectomy and injection of A botulinum toxin into digital neuromuscular bundles has shown efficacy in treating severe Raynaud's Phenomenon (RP). Immediate pain relief and complete healing of digital wounds with full hand mobility were achieved post-surgery.
The presence of severe Raynaud's Phenomenon (RP), with permanent pain or digital necrosis is a rare condition. Cervical sympathectomy or distal sympathectomy or A botulinum toxin have demonstrated efficacy after medical treatment failure. We report the case of a 38-year-old female patient with an acute onset of severe RP in both hands secondary to systemic sclerosis. Medical treatment failed, so a novel approach by a combination of a modified distal sympathectomy and injection of A botulinum toxin on digital neuromuscular bundles was performed. Remission of the pain occurred immediately after the procedure and 45 days later she had complete healing of the digital wounds and recovered full mobilization of both hands. The patient remained asymptomatic 6 month after the procedure, and a Doppler ultrasound showed tri-phasic flows distal to the surgical site. This novel technique is described, and a brief review of the literature is performed.
