Abstract

We report the case of a girl who is diagnosed of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder who developed a secondary peripheral vascular disease (Raynaud’s Syndrome) after starting treatment with methylphenidate. The relationship between treatment with methylphenidate and the occurrence of peripheral vascular phenomena, its relevance and diagnostic and therapeutic implications are discussed.
