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 intravenous infusion of sodium nitroprusside. The contribution of angiography in the diagnosis and treatment of ergotism is stressed.Entities:
