  2. Livedo reticularis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livedo_reticularis

    Livedo reticularis is a common skin finding consisting of a mottled reticulated vascular pattern that appears as a lace-like purplish discoloration of the skin. [1] The discoloration is caused by reduction in blood flow ( ischemia ) through the arterioles that supply the cutaneous capillaries , resulting in deoxygenated blood showing as blue ...

  3. Sneddon's syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sneddon's_syndrome

    Livedo reticularis appears as a bluish-purple, netlike mottling of the skin. Sneddon's syndrome may instead present with livedo racemosa, which involves larger, less organized patches of bluish-purple mottling of the skin. Both are generally found first in the extremities, both worsen in cold and either may occur without Sneddon's syndrome or ...

  4. Livedoid vasculopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livedoid_vasculopathy

    Livedo racemosa or, less commonly, livedo reticularis are symptoms of such thrombosis, which causes blood and pressure to build up in the dermal superficial veins. [8] The oxygen partial pressure in the skin decreases as a result of the blood flow obstruction, triggering a cutaneous response that presents as pruritus with itchy papules and ...

  5. Cholesterol embolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesterol_embolism

    Most commonly this causes skin symptoms (usually livedo reticularis), gangrene of the extremities and sometimes kidney failure; problems with other organs may arise, depending on the site at which the cholesterol crystals enter the bloodstream. [2] When the kidneys are involved, the disease is referred to as atheroembolic renal disease. [3]

    Nodules, livedo reticularis, ulcers, and gangrene. [27] Primary central nervous system vasculitis Headache, cognitive impairment, stroke, encephalopathy, and seizures. [28] Retinal vasculitis: Visual impairments, floaters, and macular edema. [29] Secondary vasculitis [8] Lupus vasculitis

  7. Rheumatoid vasculitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheumatoid_vasculitis

    Rheumatoid vasculitis can cause palpable purpura, ulcers, nodules, and digital necrosis on the skin. [6] Even though it is nonspecific and present in many different disorders, livedo reticularis is frequently observed. [3] Peripheral nervous system involvement is the second most common organ involved.

  8. Adenosine deaminase 2 deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenosine_deaminase_2...

    Livedo racemosa and livedo reticularis are the most common manifestations in skin, although other symptoms such as digital necrosis, subcutaneous nodules, and non-specific rash have been seen. The most common neurological manifestations of DADA2 are secondary to vasculitis.

  9. Shock (circulatory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_(circulatory)

    Cold and mottled skin (livedo reticularis), especially extremities, due to insufficient perfusion of the skin The severity of hemorrhagic shock can be graded on a 1–4 scale on the physical signs. The shock index (heart rate divided by systolic blood pressure) is a stronger predictor of the impact of blood loss than heart rate and blood ...
