Italian term or phrase: acroasfissia
I have found one translation of this term, and I'm in doubt. "Dead fingers" is what's given by the Masson Medical Dictionary, but wouldn't it really be a more literal translation such as "acral asphyxia"?

Thanks for any help.

Thanks, Sabrina. "Dead fingers" just sounded too... pedestrian, albeit accurate.
