Symmetrical peripheral gangrene (SPG) is a rare entity characterized by ischemic changes of the distal extremities with maintained vascular integrity. We present the case of a 64-year-old man with bilateral necrotic toes and deranged liver function tests. This was thought to be related to severely depressed ejection fraction from non-ischemic etiology, presumably chronic alcohol ingestion. We hope that awareness of SPG and association with a low output state will aid in early detection and prevention.
对称性周围性坏疽 (SPG) 是一种罕见的疾病,其特征为远端肢体出现缺血性改变,同时保持血管完整性。我们报告了一例 64 岁男性患者,双侧脚趾坏死且肝功能检查异常。这被认为与非缺血性病因引起的严重射血分数降低有关,可能与慢性酒精摄入有关。我们希望对 SPG 的认识以及与低输出状态的关联将有助于早期发现和预防。
