Periungual capillaroscopy is a technique that allows the study of the microcirculation of the periungual beds in a non-invasive and simple way, allowing the papillary dermis to be visualized in vivo. It is one of the fundamental diagnostic tests in clinical practice and teaching in rheumatology today.The basic patterns in capillaroscopy are determined by the structure and architecture of the nail bed, capillary density, the presence of avascular areas, capillary morphology and vascular flow.
