Abstrakt: Background: Bier anemic spots, cyanosis with urticaria-like eruption (BASCULE) syndrome is a recently described entity with episodic urticarial lesions and white anemic halos on a background of erythrocyanosis, commonly affecting the lower extremities. Possible association with autonomic dysfunction remains poorly understood. Existing publications are limited, but the condition is suggested as highly underrecognized.
Objective: To further characterize clinical and epidemiologic data for BASCULE syndrome.
Methods: We performed an IRB-approved retrospective chart review on patients with BASCULE syndrome evaluated at Mayo Clinic from April 2021 to November 2022.
Results: A total of 17 patients were identified (13 female, 4 male). Median age of onset was 12 years (range 9-17). Lower extremities were involved in all patients (17). Most patients were symptomatic with pruritus (8) or burning pain (8); three were asymptomatic. Triggers were standing (11), hot showers or hot environments (7), or no clear trigger (4). Autonomic dysfunction was present in 10 patients. Treatment responses were observed from propranolol (3) and high-dose cetirizine (1).
Conclusion: Novel epidemiologic data from 17 pediatric and young adult patients with BASCULE syndrome further supports an association with autonomic dysfunction and suggests a higher prevalence than previously acknowledged.
