Resumo: | The spontaneous non-ischaemic blue finger is a rare and benign disorder, characterized by purple discoloration of a finger, with complete resolution. This article reports the case of a woman of 88 years, which after a few hours of stay in the emergency department developed without associated trauma, a purplish color of the 3rd finger of the right hand, with a palpable pulse and without temperature changes or pain. The etiological investigation was negative. The patient was assessed one week after the event and showed completeresolution. There are several diseases that share the same signs and symptoms, as such the diagnosis is based on the spontaneous violaceous color sparing the finger tip, and fast resolution without treatment. Though being a harmless phenomenon, it requires early assessment for timely differential diagnosis with severe pathologies. |

Este artigo relata o caso de uma mulher de 88 anos, que após algumas horas de permanência no serviço de urgência desenvolveu, sem trauma associado uma coloração violácea do terceiro dedo da mão direita, com pulsos mantidos, sem alteração da temperatura e indolor. A pesquisa etiológica realizada foi negativa. A doente foi reavaliada uma semana após o evento e mostrava regressão total da lesão. Apesar de existirem várias patologias que partilham sinais e sintomassemelhantes, o diagnóstico baseia-se no aparecimento espontâneo, na coloração violácea característica que poupa a polpa do dedo, e na resolução rápida sem necessidade de tratamento. Mesmo sendo um fenómeno benigno necessita de avaliação precoce para que o diagnóstico diferencial com patologias mais graves seja feito atempadamente.Ordem dos Médicos2015-07-10info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfimage/jpegimage/jpegimage/jpegapplication/mswordapplication/pdfhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/5867oai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/5867Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 28 No. 4 (2015): July-August; 528-530Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 28 N.º 4 (2015): Julho-Agosto; 528-5301646-07580870-399Xreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/5867https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/5867/4430https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/5867/7384https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/5867/7385https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/5867/7386https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/5867/7641https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/5867/7874Franco, DanielaAlves, DanielaAlmeida, Ana CristinaAlmeida, Carlos CostaMoreno, CecíliaFreixo, Joâoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-12-20T11:04:35Zoai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/5867Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:19:12.422282Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
