Achenbach Syndrome: A Case Report Highlighting Benign Course and Avoidance of Unnecessary Testing

John Hiscock, Nathan Jatczak

Abstract: Achenbach syndrome is a rare vascular condition marked by sudden finger discoloration and localized pain, often alarming patients and leading to unnecessary diagnostic procedures. This case report presents a 58-year-old woman with characteristic symptoms in her right fourth finger. Without any history of trauma or systemic illness, her symptoms resolved within four days following conservative management using ice and compression. The case highlights the importance of clinical recognition of Achenbach syndrome to avoid extensive testing and reassure patients about its benign nature.

Keywords: Achenbach syndrome, finger dislocation, benign vascular condition, conservative management, case report
