Abstract
Modern cases of ergot poisoning (St Anthony's fire) are frequently iatrogenic, and occur when ergot alkaloids are taken in excess. The principal feature is intense vasoconstriction, but sensory neurological disturbances such as paraesthesiae or causalgic-like pains are often described.1 We report on a woman who developed such an autonomic dysaesthesia affecting the lower limbs, which was initially mistaken for a development of her pre-existing chronic back pain.
