The evaluation of a blue toe syndrome in children is a diagnostic challenge. The differential diagnosis includes pernio (chilblains) if all diagnostic tests are negative and a corresponding anamnesis is presented. In this report we illustrate the case of a 7 1/2- year-old girl who presented with two blue toes and discuss differential-diagnostic considerations.
