La sindrome della punta blu è un quadro clinico causato dal microembolismo aterotrombotico, causando ischemia focale transitoria, occasionalmente con perdita di tessuto apparente minore, ma senza ischemia diffusa dell'avampiede. Lo sviluppo di dita blu o violacee può verificarsi anche con traumi, lesioni indotte dal freddo, disturbi che producono cianosi generalizzata, diminuzione del flusso arterioso, deflusso venoso compromesso e sangue circolante anormale. I termini "sindrome della punta blu", "sindrome della punta grigia" e "sindrome della punta viola" sono talvolta usati in modo intercambiabile.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
Gli studi possono includere ecocardiografia, TC toracica e addominale o risonanza magnetica,[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] studi di imaging di scolo arterioso periferico,[9] laboratori di ipercoagulopatia,[9] e interrogatorio di sindromi che portano a patologia vascolare periferica.[9]
