Evans Syndrome (ES) is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by the simultaneous occurrence of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA). Thrombotic complications in ES patients are uncommon, particularly involving Buerger's Disease (BD). We report a case of a 49-year-old male with ES and a history of diabetes and heavy smoking, presenting with a necrotic wound on his right great toe. Diagnostic evaluations revealed severe stenosis and thrombosis in the lower limb arteries, diagnosed as BD. The patient underwent successful popliteal-tibioperoneal artery bypass surgery and the subsequent disarticulation and revision of the distal phalanx, followed by the application of an acellular dermal matrix (ADM) to promote healing. Post-surgery, the patient showed significant improvement in blood flow and complete epithelialization without complications. This case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to managing complex wounds in ES patients, suggesting potential treatment pathways for future cases involving BD.
Evans 综合征(ES)是一种罕见的自身免疫性疾病,其特征是同时发生免疫性血小板减少症(ITP)和自身免疫性溶血性贫血(AIHA)。ES 患者的血栓并发症并不常见,特别是涉及到伯格氏病(BD)。我们报告了一例 49 岁男性,患有 ES,有糖尿病和大量吸烟史,表现为右大脚趾的坏死性伤口。诊断评估显示下肢动脉严重狭窄和血栓形成,诊断为 BD。患者成功接受了腘动脉-胫后动脉-腓动脉旁路手术,随后对远端趾骨进行了截断和修正,并应用脱细胞真皮基质(ADM)促进愈合。手术后,患者的血流明显改善,完全上皮化,无并发症。该病例强调了多学科方法在管理 ES 患者复杂伤口中的重要性,为未来涉及 BD 的病例提供了潜在的治疗途径。
