Viewer discretion advised! ⚠️ What happened here? Necrosis of the first digit! But what caused it? . When a patient comes to the outpatient clinic with a fingertip necrosis, the physicians have to identify the cause first. It is very important to distinguish the causes of hand ischemia because the treatment must be different depending on the cause. If the finger became necrotic fast, we have to consider acute causes such as trauma and thrombosis. And if the finger necrosis progressed slowly, chronic causes such as vasculitis have to be considered. If multiple fingers are involved, and if the patient is a smoker, thromboangiitis obliterans can be considered. However in this case, it looks like just the index finger is necrotic! What do you think caused it? Leave a comment and follow. .
