Abstract
Severe peripheral vasoconstriction of the legs due to hypersensitivity to small doses of ergotamine tartrate developed in a patient with migraine headaches. The vasospasm was successfully treated with continuous intra-arterial and i.v. infusion of sodium nitroprusside. The contribution of angiography in diagnosis and treatment of ergotism is stressed.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
