[Erogotism as a cuase of abnormal peripheral arterial flow (author's transl)].
Ergotism is seen rarely as a complication of the treatment of migraine with drugs containing egotamine. The prognosis is good if the disease is recognised at an early stage and ergotamine medication is discontinued. A case of ergotism studied angiographically is described. The patient was a 46-year old woman who developed severe vascular spasm in pelvic and lower limb arteries within four weeks of taking 100 mg. erotamine tartrate. The changes disappeared completely once the ergotamine preparation was stopped.
