Abstract

Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) is characterized by local artery vasoconstriction in response to cold exposure or emotional stress. RP appears as attacks of blanching or cyanosis of digits, or both, followed by a hyperaemic phase. Usually the digits of the hands or less commonly of the feet are affected. Other sites such as nose, ears could also be affected. We report a patient who has been suffering for long time of cold induced sensitivity associated with well demarcated pallor of the scrotum.
