BackgroundAchenbach's syndrome, also known as paroxysmal finger hematoma, is a rarely reported clinical disorder with recurring, sudden bruising of the volar part of a finger, appearing spontaneously or after minor trauma and resolving completely within days.Patients And MethodsWe report seven cases from our angiologic out-patient clinic.ResultsThe patients were asymptomatic between manifestations. The conditon was nevertheless reason for a referral.ConclusionsWe stress the need for greater awareness among clinicians of the harmlessness of the condition in order to avoid misdiagnoses and dispensable diagnostic procedures.
