“…Since it is sometime difficult to rule out such effects, and this point was discussed during monthly meetings of our research team, the MDE prevalence might have been overestimated in our study. Nine cohort studies investigated the prevalence of mood disorders in SSc [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]27]. One limitation of these studies is the small number of patients assessed, with the exception of 2 studies investigating 142 and 376 patients [11,27].…”

“…As a consequence of skin sclerosis and telangiectasias, SSc patients may experience morphological changes prominently localized to the hands and face [4]. SSc patients frequently experience psychiatric symptoms, with an incidence of symptoms of depression of 36% to 65% in published series of 31 to 143 SSc patients, which could intuitively be secondary to disease chronicity, reduced life expectancy, and disability [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Thombs et al pointed out the numerous limitations of these studies [14], namely, the low number of patients included (less than 100), absence of a control group, recruitment from a single center, and absence of a structured clinical interview based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV (DSM-IV) criteria [15].…”

“…Cette étude, qui se situe dans une perspective cognitivocomportementale, souligne l'effet protecteur de certaines stratégies défensives. L'intérêt de l'évaluation des stratégies de coping réside dans le fait qu'elles sont modifiables par la psychothérapie.La description du profil des performances cognitives des patients souffrant d'une ScS n'a donné lieu jusqu'à présent qu'à une seule étude publiée en langue polonaise[64]. Dans cette étude, 21 patients sclérodermiques étaient évalués et, comparativement à 42 sujets sains, une altération de la mémoire à long terme, des capacités d'apprentissage, du jugement et de la perception visuospatiale étaient mises en évidence.…”

“…Ainsi, nous ne savons pas actuellement pas si, au cours de la ScS, les anomalies du SNC mises en évidence par les techniques d'imagerie cérébrale pourraient avoir un retentissement clinique neuropsychiatrique. Cependant, les symptômes psychiatriques sont relativement fréquents au cours de la ScS comme nous allons le détailler ci-dessous[33][34][35][36][37][38][39]. Si ces symptômes sont le plus souvent interprétés comme la conséquence de la chronicité de la maladie, de la diminution de l'espérance de vie, du handicap physique et de la douleur[35,38], il faut raisonnablement se poser la question du rôle d'une atteinte organique spécifique du SNC dans le déve-loppement de ces symptômes, à l'instar des troubles neuropsychiatriques observés au cours du neurolupus.…”

“…10 Increased vasospasm has been demonstrated in the main internal organs (heart, kidney, and lung) in scleroderma 11 and might explain why some middle-aged scleroderma patients have otherwise unexplained transient ischemic attacks with focal neurological defects 3,14,15 or transient global amnesia, 16 both of which were observed in our patients. In addition, various psychological disorders have been reported in scleroderma patients 15,[17][18][19] and may be partly due to organic brain involvement; indeed, it has recently been shown that patients with basal ganglia calcification frequently have neuropsychological alterations. 20 We believe that the use of sensitive tools for assessing CNS involvement should be included in a comprehensive assessment of the neuropsychological disorders observed in systemic sclerosis.…”
