Disease/Condition Glossary

Cerebrovascular insufficiency: It occurs when there is obstruction of one or more blood vessels (arteries) that supply blood to the brain. This obstruction leads to strokes or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs or 'mini-strokes').

Buerger's disease: It commonly occurs in the arms and legs, where blood vessels get swollen, thereby preventing blood flow and causing clots to form. This leads to pain, tissue damage, and the formation of gangrene (death of body tissues).

Raynaud's phenomenon: It occurs due to blocked nerves resulting in discolouration of the fingers and/or the toes after exposure to extreme cold or hot temperatures conditions. Skin discolouration is a sign of a diminished blood supply to the local tissues.
