Abstract
Thévenard's disease is a rare familial ulceromutilative acropathy of autosomal dominant inheritance. It starts at the level of the feet where it remains the most often the only manifestation, to extend exceptionally and then later at the level of the hands. Its evolution is generally towards aggravation by successive shoots, separated by phases of remission more or less long (sometimes several years). Nerve osteoarthropathy and infectious complications are the main complications of Thevenard's disease. We report the case of a 31-year-old woman, followed since the age of 6 years for Thévenard's disease, complicated by plantar perforations with repetitions of both feet and an osteoarthropathy of interest to both lower limbs, the upper limbs are intact.
