| Popis: | Livedoid vasculitis is a chronic dermatological disorder associated with petechiae and recurrent, unusually shaped ulcers that heal to form hyperpigmentated areas and atrophie blanche. This condition is more correctly termed a vasculopathy, rather than a vascultis, and is often associated with an underlying hypercoagulable disorder. We report a patient with livedoid vasculitis and mononeuropathy multiplex. We propose that peripheral nervous system involvement arises from multifocal areas of ischemia due to fibrin and thrombin deposition within both the wall and lumen of vasa nervorum. |
