The title is misleading in that remarks are confined entirely to the arteriovenous connections known as glomeri and t,umors of these. The successive steps in their recognition and description are clearly and concisely reviewed, an equally clear and brief description of the current studies of microscopic anatomy is given, and the t,heories advanced as to their function are presented. The author then describes t.he oc’currenee of glomus tumors (angio-neuro-myoma) of which he has seen thirty-four cases. They usually occur in the fingers or somewhere on the upper extremity (21 instances) and give rise to pain, burning, and local heat,. Because of the local elevat,ion of temperature in these tumors which may be considered as pathologically enlarged glomeri, the aut,hor believes that the function of the glomus is one of heat regulation, as first suggested by Hoyer, rather than a regulator of blood pressure and cardiac work.

The digital arteries of most patients with RaVnaud’s disease usually are not, filled normally in arteriograms. Two common findings in the art,eriograms in such cases are absence of tilling of the dist,al parts of digital arteries and diminished caliber of such arteries. Arteriograms of asthenic individuals who do not have Raynaud’s disease may reveal the same changes that the arteriograms in most cases of Raynaud’s disease do. Some patients with Raynxud ‘x disease, however, have normal arteriograms. Cervicothoracic sympathetic ganglionertomg for Raynaud ‘s disease may or may not produce normal filling of digital arteries which did not fill normally before operation, Evidence of intrinsic arterial disease manifested by sudden interruption of the lumen was observed in only two digital arteries and is therefore considered a finding of questionable importance. From an arteriographic standpoint, the digital arteries are not significantly diseased in an organic way in Raynaud’s disease. If a “local fault” is responsible for Raynaud’s disease, it does not appear in arteriograms as an organic one. Nevertheless, arteriography does not exclude such a “loyal fault” in Raynaud’s disease since the arteriograms reveal changes in only the lumina of the arteries. AUTHOR.
