crostiolisi

Italian to English Medical Medical (general)
Part of an expert witness's opinion regarding the effects of a toxic substance on the human organism: "E una tossicità diretta, in particolare di tipo vascolare, che portava alla crostiolisi, quindi una patologia diciamo delle ossa, delle dita e conseguente a un impatto sulla circolazione, e a una patologia epatica." I can't seem to find ''crostiolisi'' anywhere, so any advice would be much appreciated!

acroosteolysis

This looks plausible: "A disorder that is usually congenital but may also be acquired by exposure to vinyl chloride, marked by ulcers on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet." (dictionary.reference.com)

"Acroosteolysis is characterized by bone resorption in the fingers and toes. " (radswiki.net)

Peer comment(s):

agree Linda Thody : I wanted to put this too but didn't as I was uncertain. So if we both came to the same conclusion I think it must be right :-)

I think the combination of toxic substance and the specific effects makes it very likely.
