Abstract

A schizophrenic paranoid patient was on a continuous maintenance treatment of phenothiazines for 5 yr. 8 wk after switching over to fluphenazine enanthate injections intramuscularly, 'clubbed fingers' occurred. The results of thorough examinations were within normal limits, so the phenothiazine treatment was presumed to be the cause of clubbing. It is suggested that anoxia of the distal tissue gives rise to clubbing due to arterial hypotension, slowing down of the blood flow and viscosity of the blood.
