[Ulcerative and mutilating acropathy (author's transl)].
The authors report the case of a 50-year-old patient with bilateral plantar chronic trophic ulcers. He was a chronic alcoholic and presented serious nutritional deficiencies. The etiological problems raised by sensitive neuropathies are reconsidered. After discussion, the authors relate their observation of ulcerative and mutilating acropathy to a sporadic Thevenard syndrome.
