title: [Ergotamine induced ischemia].
abstract: Drugs containing ergotamine are commonly used in the treatment of migraine. Hypersensitivity to these drugs may be triggered off even with intake of recommended doses, inducing peripheral ischemia. Contributing factors to ergotism are concurrent fever, liver disease and drugs such as erythromycin or propranolol. We present a case history and different methods of treatment.
