We report the case of a 45 year old teacher with a digital ischemia of the small finger of the right hand. Non invasive diagnostics showed a hypothenar hammer syndrome caused by repetitive trauma due to mechanical working, use of a classical espresso machine and playing drums. Diagnostics, etiology and therapeutic options are discussed.
