“…To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case in the literature that presented with a vasculitis-like picture after trauma. Karaarslan et al have reported a case of ulnar arterial thrombosis after a trauma that presented with hand pain and swelling rather than digital gangrene [ 13 ]. “Hypothenar-hammer” syndrome has been commonly described in the literature, which refers to an injury to the ulnar artery as a consequence of repetitive trauma, which results in thrombosis and embolism of digital arteries.…”

Vasculitis mimickers are structural or pathologic entities that resemble the vasculitis clinical presentation and/or diagnostic findings. Their presence can be a conundrum, and physicians require careful assessment and adequate knowledge physicians when considering a diagnosis of vasculitis. Although they are considered mimickers, the therapeutic approach for most of them differs widely from that of vasculitis as high-dose steroids and potent immunosuppressive regimens are usually indicated in the latter. In fact, steroid therapy is contraindicated and is considered harmful in some of these mimickers (e.g. segmental arterial mediolysis). Therefore, it is important to distinguish them from vasculitis to prevent complications from immunosuppressive therapy. Hereby, we present a challenging case of a 64-year-old man who presented with acute gangrenous changes on his right fingers due to arterial thrombus after trauma resembling vasculitis.

“…In the HHS, the ulnar artery segment of over 2 cm which lies immediately distal to the Guyon canal before reaching the palmar aponeurosis, is the damaged segment. This segment of the ulnar artery is susceptible to injury due to its superficial location and limited protection of the soft tissues overlying it [9,10]. Repeated blunt trauma may induce intimal damage to the vasospasm in the superficial palmar segment of the ulnar artery and trigger platelet aggregation and thrombus formation.…”

Hypothenar hammer syndrome is observed in some occupational groups or some athletes who use objects that can cause recurrent trauma to the superficial palmar region of their ulnar artery by the object they handle. The advance in imaging technologies and the increased use of these methods significantly raised the importance of MRI as well as MR angiography in evaluating wrist pathologies. Presenting these cases we aimed to discuss the MR imaging findings of hypothenar hammer syndrome. HHS is a treatable and preventable cause of the upper extremity digital ischemia. Radiologists should keep HHS in mind as a differential in the cases presenting with hand and finger symptoms, especially the ones in risk groups.

“…Other causes include fractures, crush injuries, and penetrating wounds that change the intima of the artery. Precise identification of an arterial blockage as embolic or thrombotic is essential before effective treatment can begin [3]. Arterial emboli are most usually caused by thrombi that form in the heart chambers as a result of arterial fibrillation or myocardial infarction.…”

Introduction: Arterial vascular occlusion can be caused by an embolus or acute thrombosis. Acute arterial occlusion can be induced by iatrogenic damage, such as that produced by the insertion of invasive catheters used for arteriography. It can occur as a result of PTA or stent implantation, the use of an intraaortic balloon pump, or IV drug addiction. Other causes include fractures, crush injuries, and penetrating wounds that change the intima of the artery. Reliable identification of an arterial blockage as embolic or thrombotic in origin is necessary to begin appropriate therapy. Clinical Findings: On examination vitals was heart rate is 80 beats/min respiration 22beats/min blood pressures 120/80 mmHg temperature 97oF the chest was clear, patient is oriented on local examination gangrene over left lower limb, RTPCR test was done and patient was put in isolation ward and on day 3 the RTPCR report is negative. Diagnostic Evaluation: Coagulation profile APTT-31.5, PT-16.5, INR-1.28, UREA-16, SODIUM-128, POTASSIUM-4.3, RTPCR-NEGATIVE, HBSAG-NON-REACTIVE, HCV-NONREACTIVE. Therapeutic Intervention: The patient was taken to the catheterization lab and local anesthesia is given and balloonplasty was done using ARMADA 4MM X 120cm with that Inj. Urokinase 1.5 Lac IU is given stat by infusion the Conclusion: My patient aged 24 years male was admitted to Cardiac unit in AVBRH hospital Sawangi (M) Wardha on date 25/03/2021 for visit in hospital OPD with complaints of leg pain with redness and swelling over the leg.
