Summary : Typically, embolia cutis medicamentosa is reported after intramuscular injections of drugs. We describe a case of embolia cutis medicamentosa after sclerotherapy of intracutaneous veins of the foot with a polidocanol solution of 1%. Under therapy with intravenous alprostadil, pentoxifyllin, internal steroids and anticoagulation with heparin, the lesions healed completely without necrosis. |
