ABSTRACT

Dupuytren’s contracture (DC) is painless flexion contracture of ulnar side of palm where fingers bend towards palm and cannot be straightened. It is a fibrosing disorder that results in slowly progressive thickening and shortening of the palmar fascia, leading to the debilitating digital contractures. The prevalence of DC is found to be higher in patients with cirrhotic or noncirrhotic alcoholic liver disease. We report the case of a 56-year-old male chronic alcoholic who presented with distention of abdomen, yellow discoloration of sclera since 1 month and altered sensorium since 1 day. He had bilateral contractures on ulnar side of hands, suggestive of DC.
