Digital necrosis is a clinical manifestation of a general or locoregional pathology and represents the ultimate stage of distal ischemia (1). It is more likely to be the consequence of a macroangiopathy which can also sometimes be associated with a microangiopathy. The necrosis of fingers and toes may be caused by a great variety of diseases including collagen vascular diseases (systemic scleroderma…), arteriopathies, vasculitis, haemopathies, occupational diseases and many others (2).
