Ainhum of Little Finger in Patient with LeprosyCahiers Méd. Union Française, 2
Abstract AT THE 1950 meeting of the Atlantic Dermatologic Conference, one of us (R. C. V. R.) presented a 6-month-old Negro child with annular constrictions of several fingers and toes. During the discussion which followed the presentation of patients, several physicians remarked on the resemblance of the constrictions to ainhum, a condition usually considered peculiar to persons in tropical countries. None recalled seeing a similar condition in such a young child. During one of the child's follow-up visits to the Family Syphilis Clinic, two junior staff members remarked that they did not consider this constriction a rare entity, having seen several similar cases in plastic surgical clinics in other hospitals. Although a search of the records failed to reveal any other hospital admissions for such a condition, a nurse who had been associated with our hospital for many years stated that she had seen several patients with "ring fingers" References 1.
