Clockwise from top: Image A shows the periungual ulceration (arrow) of the fifth digit, as well as the prior amputation of the second digit. Image B shows a longitudinal ultrasound of the palmar aspect of the ulnar right wrist. In the center of the image, the ulnar artery is in view and color Doppler flow is visualized within the vessel until there is a reversal of flow demonstrated by color change, followed by severe attenuation of flow distally. Distal to the cessation of flow, the vessel appears hypoechoic due to proliferation of the intima to the point of occluding the lumen. Image C shows a transverse view at the level of white line in Image B, with endothelial proliferation seen around a central lumen of the artery (a), next to the vein (v) and ulnar nerve (n). Image D, shows a transverse view at the level of the black line in Image B, where the arterial lumen (a) is occluded.
