Ainhum (Dactylolysis Spontanea): A Rare Cause of Consult in Dermatology- A Case Report and Review of Literature
نویسنده
چکیده
Ainhum or Dactylolysis Spontanea is an idiopathic condition due to constriction rings or grooves on the digits that result in auto amputation. The ainhum commonly affects the fifth toe and usually the compromise is bilateral. This disease affects mainly African American adults between 20 to 50 years old from tropical and sub-tropical regions. We report a 75 years-old man with clinical and radiographic findings of unilateral ainhum of left fifth toe.
