[Ergotamine induced ischemia].

Abstract

Drugs containing ergotamine are commonly used in the treatment of migraine. Hypersensitivity to these drugs may be triggered off even with intake of recommended doses, inducing peripheral ischemia. Contributing factors to ergotism are concurrent fever, liver disease and drugs such as erythromycin or propranolol. We present a case history and different methods of treatment.

Ergotamine as a possible cause of Möbius sequence: additional clinical observation.

A case of Möbius sequence after exposure to ergotamine during early development is reported. Vascular disruption is one of the theories explaining the pathogenesis of Möbius sequence. Ergotamine can cause vasospasm and a prolonged and marked increase in uterine tone. This is the second report suggesting a relation between maternal ingestion of ergotamine in early pregnancy and subsequent Möbius sequence in a child.
