Popis: Raynaud’s phenomenon is a paroxysmal and recurrent vasospasm phenomenon characterized by tricolour changes in extremities, commonly hands and feet, triggered by exposure to cold. When isolated it is described as primary, and secondary when associated with other medical conditions. It is usually more common in young adults and is rare in children and very rare in infants. Here, we report a case of Raynaud phenomenon in the immediate postnatal period and review the medical literature on this subject.
