VALLEJO, Franco J; GOMEZ, Juan F  e  TAMAYO, Natalia. Acute ischemia of lower limbs secondary to ergotism. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2011, vol.18, n.6, pp.350-352. ISSN 0120-5633.

21 years old female patient admitted for progressive and intense pain in lower limbs, that narrated a recent history of ergot ingestion. On physical examination there was absence of pulses in both lower limbs. Severe, generalized and bilateral decrease of caliber of arterial vessels of the lower limbs was documented by angiotomography. Acute arterial ischemia of lower limbs secondary to ergotism was diagnosed and treatment with vasodilators and calcium antagonists was initiated, resolving entirely the symptoms.

Palavras-chave : ergotism; acute arterial ischemia; nitroglycerin.
