  • Title: Hypothenar hammer syndrome in a computer programmer: CTA diagnosis and surgical and endovascular treatment.
    Author: Abdel-Gawad EA, Bonatti H, Housseini AM, Maged IM, Morgan RF, Hagspiel KD.
    Journal: Vasc Endovascular Surg; 2009; 43(5):509-12. PubMed ID: 19640910.
    Abstract:
    Finger ischemia due to embolic occlusion of digital arteries resulting from trauma to the palmar ulnar artery has been termed hypothenar hammer syndrome (HHS). In HHS, arterial thrombosis and/or aneurysm formation with embolization to the digital arteries causes symptoms of ischemia. We describe a patient in whom the initial diagnosis was made on multidetector computed tomographic angiography (CTA), as well as his endovascular and surgical management.
