Overview
Nail-fold video capillaroscopy (NVC) may be helpful in the diagnosis of scleroderma. Findings on nail-fold video capillaroscopy diagnostic of raynaud's phenomenon (RP) and scleroderma microangiopathy include nail-fold capillary abnormalities, capillary dilatation, and capillary loop drop-out. Findings on nail-fold video capillaroscopy diagnostic of scleroderma microangiopathy are graded into 3 phases; early, active and late.
Other Imaging Findings
- Nail-fold capillaroscopy may be helpful in the diagnosis of scleroderma. Findings on nail-fold capillaroscopy diagnostic of raynaud's phenomenon (RP) include:[1][2]
- Nail-fold capillaroscopy:
- Non-invasive technique that facilitates in vivo assessment of cutaneous microvasculature and microvascular damage in scleroderma patients
- Findings on nail-fold video capillaroscopy diagnostic of scleroderma microangiopathy are graded into 3 phases:[3][4][5]
- Early:
- Giant capillaries
- Hemorrhages
- These findings facilitate early diagnosis of scleroderma and facilitate differentiation between primary and secondary RP
- Active:
- The microangiopathy changes in the early phase are more evident in the active phase
- Late:
- Severe loss of capillaries
- Vascular architectural disorganization
- Presence of ramified or bushy capillaries
- Early:
