Introduction. The Achenbach syndrome was described in the '50s by the German physician Walter Achenbach and corresponds to an entity characterized by the appearance of ecchymosis or purpura and even bruises on the fingers and sometimes on the feet. It courses benignly and is self-limited.
Methods. We present the case of a 60-year-old woman who was diagnosed with this syndrome after performing laboratory tests, antibodies and images without finding alterations in them, with improvement after receiving analgesia and physical means.
Results. The Achenbach syndrome continues to be an unknown entity, with few reports in the literature. Up to the year 2 016, 12 case reports had been identified worldwide, concluding that it is a pathology that mainly affects women between the fifth and sixth decade of life.
Conclusion. Although this nosological entity is benign and its pathophysiology is not entirely clear, it is important that during the initial approach it is consulted for similar episodes in the past and if it is an acute event, look for other alterations such as delay in capillary refill, coldness distal, absence of pulses and thus discarding acute ischemic pathology with diagnostic exams. |

Resumen Introducción. El síndrome de Achenbach fue descrito en los años 50’ por el médico alemán Walter Achenbach y corresponde a una entidad caracterizada por la aparición de equimosis o purpuras e incluso hematomas en los dedos de las manos y en algunas ocasiones de los pies. Cursa de forma benigna y es autolimitada. Métodos. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 60 años a quien se diagnosticó este síndrome luego de realizar exámenes de laboratorio, anticuerpos e imágenes sin encontrar alteraciones en ellos, con mejoría luego de recibir analgesia y medios físicos. Resultados. El síndrome de Achenbach continúa siendo una entidad desconocida, con pocos reportes en la literatura. Hasta el año 2 016 se habían identificado 12 reportes de caso a nivel mundial concluyendo que es una patología que afecta principalmente a mujeres entre la quinta y sexta década de vida. Conclusión. Aunque esta entidad nosológica es benigna y su fisiopatología no está del todo clara, es importante que durante el abordaje inicial se consulte por episodios similares en el pasado y en caso de ser un evento agudo, buscar otras alteraciones como retardo en el llenado capilar, frialdad distal, ausencia de pulsos y de ese modo se descarte patología isquémica aguda con ayudas diagnosticas.

Embora esta entidade doença é benigna e sua fisiopatologia não é totalmente clara, é importante que, durante a abordagem inicial é consultado por episódios semelhantes no passado e deve ser um evento agudo, procure outros distúrbios, tais como enchimento capilar retardado, frio distal, ausência de pulsos e, assim, descartar a patologia isquêmica aguda com auxiliares de diagnóstico.
