Skin lesions such as finger erythema, nail dystrophy,and blisters have been described in patients with severe damage to themotor, sensory, and autonomic fibers of the median nerve. The pathogenetic hypothesis is that fingertip necrosis is caused by a transitory alteration of autonomic innervation associated with impaired arterial vascularization as a result of a lesion in the vasa nervorum. These 2 cases highlight an advanced stage of CTS as a cause of fingertip necrosis

Abstract

Skin lesions such as finger erythema, nail dystrophy,and blisters have been described in patients with severe damage to themotor, sensory, and autonomic fibers of the median nerve. The pathogenetic hypothesis is that fingertip necrosis is caused by a transitory alteration of autonomic innervation associated with impaired arterial vascularization as a result of a lesion in the vasa nervorum. These 2 cases highlight an advanced stage of CTS as a cause of fingertip necrosis
