    This case study highlights a 50-year-old alcoholic with severe nutritional deficiencies who developed chronic ulcers. The condition was diagnosed as a rare sporadic Thevenard syndrome, a form of ulcerative acropathy.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Dermatology
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Sensitive neuropathies can cause chronic trophic ulcers, particularly in individuals with alcoholism and nutritional deficiencies.
    • The etiology of such neuropathies requires careful consideration to differentiate various underlying conditions.

    Observation:

    • A 50-year-old male patient presented with bilateral chronic plantar trophic ulcers.
    • The patient had a history of chronic alcoholism and significant nutritional deficiencies.

    Findings:

    • The patient's condition, characterized by ulcerative and mutilating acropathy, was linked to a sporadic Thevenard syndrome.
    • This diagnosis was reached after reconsidering the etiological factors of sensitive neuropathies.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the understanding of rare neurological disorders affecting the extremities.
    • It underscores the importance of comprehensive etiological investigation in complex neuropathic presentations.
    • The findings may guide future diagnostic approaches for similar acropathic conditions.
