Solution to Cold Fingers

The correct answer is C – Raynaud's syndrome. Answer A can be ruled out because of the absence of a cervical rib, negative Adson test, and costoclavicular maneuver. Answer C can be eliminated due to the distribution and type of symptoms. Answer D is interesting because, although uncommon, it produces similar symptoms AS Raynaud's.
