[Livedo racemosa with ulcerations. Cyclic therapy with iloprost infusions].
[sneddon syndrome]
A
43
year
old
woman
suffered
from
an
intermittent
painful
livedo
racemosa
at
the
back
since
her
childhood
.
Her
clinical
course
was
complicated
by
ulcerations
.
In
careful
clinical
investigations
no
signs
of
an
underlying
disease
could
be
found
,
in
particular
a
Sneddon
syndrome
could
be
excluded
.
By
means
of
both
conservative
and
surgical
treatments
,
initial
healing
of
the
ulcerations
was
achieved
but
relapses
occurred
.
Cyclic
infusions
of
iloprost
achieved
long
-term
clearing
of
the
ulcerations
and
disappearance
of
the
pain
.
To
the
best
of
our
knowledge
the
effectiveness
of
this
treatment
has
not
been
described
for
this
disease
in
the
literature
.
