PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF LIMITED SCLERODERMA
The pathophysiological mechanisms are not fully elucidated but seem to involve a multifactorial aetiology. The subcutaneous deposits of calcium occur in calcinosis. The arteries that supply the fingers and toes become narrow and limit blood supply when exposed to cold or stress. Over time, these small arteries become thickened slightly, further limiting blood flow and symptoms of Raynaud’s phenomenon manifested. The smooth muscles in the oesophagus replaced with fibrotic scar tissue lead to oesophageal dysmotility. Dermal fibrosis occurs in sclerodactyly. In telangiectasia, dilation of arteries in the skin occurs.
