Cases of the disease may be divided into two groups: the diffuse or generalized form, and the localized form known as morphea or circumscribed scleroderma. The group known as morphea will be eliminated from this report.The onset of the diffuse form of scleroderma varies. It may be ushered in with symptoms of arthralgia, malaise, loss of weight...Bibliography ADSONBROWN AWGE: The treatment of Raynaud's disease by resection of the upper thoracic and lumbar sympathetic ganglia and trunks.
