With the demonstration by Raynaud that gangrene could develop without vascular occlusion, these conditions were divided into two groups: (1) those due to structural disease of the arteries, described and classified under the general term arteriosclerosis; (2) those due to functional disturbance of the arteries without structural change: for example, Raynaud's disease. The accepted neurogenic origin of the vascular disturbance in Raynaud's disease and in the condition described later by Weir Mitchell as erythromelalgia and...Bibliography1.
