    Gangrene of the hand and forearm after inadvertent intra-arterial injection of pyrazole : a case report
    (Health & Medical Publishing Group, 1985) Du Toit, D. F.; Sunshine, M.; Knott-Craig, C.; Laker, L.
    A case of gangrene of the hand following inadvertent intra-arterial injection of a pyrazole derivative (Tomanol) is presented. Gangrene of the hand and superficial sloughing of the distal arm necessitated a forearm amputation. Because of the serious sequelae, precautions must be taken to avoid inadvertent intra-arterial injections and due consideration must be given to the anatomical variations of the brachial artery and its branches in the cubital fossa.
