“…[1][2][3] Nicolau syndrome can be associated with transitory or permanent ischemia of the ipsilateral limb, compartment syndrome, acute renal failure, rectal hemorrhage, and neurologic complications such as paraplegia, hypoesthesia, and sphincter deficits. 1,[4][5][6] The diagnosis is based on the clinical presentation, 2 and there are no other positive criteria. The appearance of a livedoid eruption soon after an IM or intra-articular drug administration and the exclusion of other causes, such as necrotizing fasciitis, allowed us to establish the diagnosis.…”

“…3,7,8 Conservative treatment includes the administration of analgesics, vasoactive agents such as heparin and pentoxifylline, anticoagulants, systemic steroids, and eventually antibiotics. 2,5,9 Additional treatments comprise surgical debridement, skin grafting, and reconstruction with skin, fasciocutaneous, or musculocutaneous flaps. 3,8 The greatest benefit of HBOT is achieved in compromised nutritive flow and oxygen supply to tissues caused by local injury or infection.…”
