Blue toe syndrome is a situation that may reflect atherothrombotic microembolism, causing transient focal ischaemia, occasionally with minor apparent tissue loss, but without diffuse forefoot ischemia.[1] The development of blue or violaceous toes can also occur with trauma, cold-induced injury, disorders producing generalized cyanosis, decreased arterial flow, impaired venous outflow, and abnormal circulating blood.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] The terms "blue toe syndrome", "grey toe syndrome" and "purple toe syndrome" are sometimes used interchangeably.[10]

Studies may include echocardiography, thoracic and abdominal CT or MRI,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][excessive citations] peripheral arterial run off imaging studies,[19] hypercoagulopathy labs,[20] and interrogation of syndromes that lead to peripheral vascular pathology.[21]
