Zusammenfassung:Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) is an episodic vasospastic response to cold or emotional stress causing color changes and pain. These attacks can lead to digital ischemia, ulcers, and gangrene.

We present a case of RP involving the toes of a child successfully treated with botulinum toxin A.
