  • Tongue Necrosis Secondary to Ergotamine Tartrate in a Patient With Temporal Arteritis
    Archives of dermatology, 1994
    Co-Authors: J. Vazquez-doval, E. Martinez-vila, I. Legarda, F. Ruiz De Erenchun
    Abstract:

    We describe a patient with temporal arteritis (TA) who developed tongue necrosis after treatment of headache with an Ergotamine Tartrate suppository. Figure 1. Necrosis of the tongue. Figure 2. Arteriography showing severe stenosis in the right lingual artery with areas of hypoperfusion in the tongue. Report of a Case. A 72-year-old woman was referred to our clinic with a 6-month history of asthenia, frontal headache, mandibular claudication, and chin pain. She had been diagnosed by her general practitioner as suffering from anxiety and/or depression. On the morning of July 8, 1991, she suffered a violent headache, which she treated with an Ergotamine Tartrate suppository (2 mg) on the recommendation of her family doctor. After an hour, she became aware of pain at the base of the tongue, difficulty in speaking, and sensation of coldness in the tongue and the lower half of the face. During the hours subsequent to admission,

  • Tongue necrosis provoked by Ergotamine Tartrate and disclosing a giant cell arteritis.
    European journal of dermatology : EJD, 1999
    Co-Authors: P.-e. Stoebner, C. Gaspard, J. Meynadier, Laurent Meunier
    Abstract:

    A case of tongue necrosis induced by Ergotamine Tartrate is reported in a patient who was suffering from an unknown giant cell arteritis (GCA). The role of Ergotamine in provoking tongue necrosis in temporal arteritis has only infrequently been considered. The hypothesis concerning Ergotamine-induced vasospasm potentially being able to trigger a tongue necrosis in GCA is supported by the present case. This unusual complication warns us against uncritical prescription of this drug for elderly people suffering from migraine without considering GCA.
