Abstract
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.
