Disease relevance of Skin Diseases, Vascular

• Embolization of cholesterol-rich debris was usually widespread and lodged in terminal arteries, producing either focal digital ischemia or livedo reticularis of the extremity [1].
• Patients with APS associated with SLE had more episodes of arthritis and livedo reticularis, and more frequently exhibited thrombocytopenia and leukopenia [2].
• However, renal cholesterol embolism may be clinically diagnosed when renal failure develops after known inciting factors or together with systemic manifestations of atheromatous embolization such as lower extremity livedo reticularis, focal digital ischemia or retinal embolism [3].
• He was of normal birthweight and, therefore, does not come into the syndrome of microcephaly, snub nose, livedo reticularis, and low birthweight dwarfism [4].
• The presence of vasculitis in our patients with SLE was associated with a higher ECLAM score, livedo reticularis, hematologic parameters (anemia, high ESR), and anti-La/SS-B antibodies [5].

Psychiatry related information on Skin Diseases, Vascular

• Yq- in a child with livedo reticularis, snub nose, microcephaly, and profound mental retardation [4].
• A 28-year-old woman presented with generalised livedo reticularis, dementia, epilepsy, and pyramidal and extrapyramidal signs [6].

High impact information on Skin Diseases, Vascular

• Amantadine may be hazardous to patients with severe and chronic livedo reticularis [7].
• A child with terminal deletion of the long arm of the Y chromosome (Yq--) presented with marked livedo reticularis, snub nose, microcephaly, short stature, and other dysmorphic features [4].
• PATIENTS AND METHODS: 52 patients with widespread livedo reticularis were studied: 31 fulfilled ACR criteria for SLE, 21 had a lupus-like illness; all were negative for aPL [8].
• Intravascular obstruction, caused by deposition of calcium oxalate crystals in cutaneous arterioles, is thought to be responsible for the ischemic livedo reticularis lesions observed in this patient [9].
• Minocycline induced arthritis associated with fever, livedo reticularis, and pANCA [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Skin Diseases, Vascular

• An unusual photoactivated skin eruption. Quinidine-induced livedo reticularis [11].
• These patients may develop vascular oxalate deposits resulting in livedo reticularis and distal acral vascular insufficiency [12].
• Successful treatment of ulcerating livedo reticularis with infusions of prostacyclin [13].
• Livedo reticularis caused by cholesterol embolization may improve with simvastatin [14].
• We report our experience with 7 consecutive patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) who received rimantadine (the alpha-methyl derivative of amantadine) in substitution of amantadine due to peripheral side effects (lower limb edema, livedo reticularis) [15].

Anatomical context of Skin Diseases, Vascular

• In patients affected with severe arteriosclerosis of the abdominal aorta, cholesterol crystals may become detached from an atheromatous plaque and result in micro emboli ensuing skin lesions (livedo reticularis, nodules, purple toes, ulcerations, distal gangrene) on the lower extremities [16].

Gene context of Skin Diseases, Vascular

• Late features of TOS are musculoskeletal pain, cramps, livedo reticularis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and digital tuft changes [17].
• We present three patients with different risk factors for CES who all presented with the pathognomonic triad of leg and/or foot pain, livedo reticularis and good peripheral pulses [18].
• CONCLUSION: Epilepsy is common in APS and most of the risk seems to be linked to vascular disease as manifested by extensive CNS involvement, valvulopathy, and livedo reticularis and to the presence of SLE [19].
• Polycythemia rubra vera presenting as livedo reticularis [20].
• We report the occurrence of livedo reticularis in a patient with symptomatic hereditary type 1 protein C deficiency [21].
