RESUMO
Presentamos 4pacientes con fenómeno de Raynaud asociado a esclerosis sistémica, 3de ellos con úlceras isquémicas, con intolerancia o falta de respuesta a tratamiento convencional, que presentaron mejoría tras tratamiento con oxígeno hiperbárico. Esta terapia ha sido utilizada para el tratamiento de úlceras de diversa etiología debido a su efecto cicatrizante, angiogénico, antiinflamatorio y antimicrobiano. El oxígeno hiperbárico podría constituir una alternativa terapéutica en pacientes con fenómeno de Raynaud o úlceras isquémicas de difícil manejo.(AU)
