title: [Ergotism of the lower extremities resulting from thrombosis prevention using DHE-heparin. An angiographic follow-up study].
abstract: Today ergotism is becoming more and more important as a complication in the treatment of migraine headache or thrombosis prophylaxis with DHE heparin. Although complete recovery is seldom reported in the current literature, in our case it was possible to resolve a spasm of the left lower limb completely by early diagnosis and adequate pharmacological treatment. The case was well documented by serial angiography.
