A case of ergot-induced peripheral vascular insufficiency mimicking atherosclerosis is presented and the clinical symptoms with vascular laboratory evaluation and roentgenographic findings are discussed in detail. A review of the literature of the vascular complications of ergot alkaloids is presented. After considering the various therapeutic modalities employed, a conservative, but hopefully more rational, treatment for these lesions is recommended. Although uncommon, this problem always must be considered in the differential diagnosis of the young patient, especially female, who presents with visceral or peripheral arterial insufficiency.
本文报告一例麦角所致的酷似动脉粥样硬化的周围血管功能不全病例，并详细讨论了其临床症状、血管实验室评估及X线检查结果。文中还对麦角生物碱血管并发症的文献进行了综述。在考虑了各种治疗方法后，推荐了一种保守但有望更合理的治疗这些病变的方法。尽管这种情况不常见，但在鉴别诊断出现内脏或周围动脉功能不全的年轻患者，尤其是女性患者时，必须始终考虑到这个问题。
