Case 27

He lost most of his fingers tips one by one through the last 3 years (see the photos) after recurrent ischemic attacks which ends by amputation, in the last 3 months he experienced intense pruritis especially after having hot bath.

 N.B. click on photo to enlarge 

Today he came to our hospital complaining from pain and paresthesia in one of the remaining fingers.

Our examination revealed severe ischemia of the left index finger and splenomegaly, we were astonished when he told us that he came to hospital to cut his finger because he knows that no treatment.

Have you any treatment for this poor male patient of the 75 years that has no significant medical history before this date?
