Abstract

Vasospastic limb ischemia might have been underappreciated compared to vasospasm in other territories such as heart and brain. However, an increasing awareness of this vascular disorder can be translated to an improved patients’ care. Herein, we report a case of vasospasm presenting acute and chronic limb ischemia in four extremities.
