Kritische Extremitätenischämie und lokalisierte Livedo bei sporadischem Ergotismus

Abstract: An interaction of the serotonin re-uptake inhibitor with ergotamine was presumably responsible for the development of ergotism under >>therapeutic<< ergotamine dosage. Vasospastic stenoses and occlusions can be demonstrated by duplex sonography and may in future not require additional angiographic confirmation. Intravenous rather than intraarterial infusion of prostaglandin is to be preferred if vessels at many sites are affected. Livedo is a transitory sign of ergotism.

“…Balloon dilatation or operative intervention is an alternative therapy in those cases, where amputation of the limb seems to be necessary. 10 In the past years, single cases of acute limb ischemia have been reported from Germany, 11 South Korea, 12 and Spain. 4 Garcia et al presented a case of long-term ergot use for migraine headaches in a woman who had severe chronic lower extremity claudication as a sign of chronic ergotism.…”

“…Der letzte Einzelfall in Deutschland trat durch verunreinigtes Müsli-Getreide vor 25 Jahren auf [6]. Als therapeutische Ansätze beim chronischen Ergotismus werden intravenöse Prostanoidgaben [10], als Vasodilatatoren Nitroprussid-Natrium, Nitroglycerin oder Nifedipin beschrieben [11]. Wichtigste Maßnahme ist jedoch die Eliminierung des auslösenden Agens.…”

“…Eine Prostanoidtherapie hat sich wegen ihrer vasodilatatorischen, antithrombotischen, fibrinolytischen und zytoprotektiven Eigenschaften bewährt [8,9]. Chirurgische Maßnahmen gelten als kontraindiziert [10]. Bei unserer Patientin führte allein der Entzug der Ergotaminmedikation zu einer Lösung der kritischen Vasospasmen.…”
