Background: Stasis dermatitis is a common dermatologic disorder. It is caused by venous hypertension results from venous backward flow. However, research on the association with specific vascular disease is insufficient.
Objectives: This study was intended to investigate in clinical manifestations of stasis dermatitis and analysis of association with other vascular diseases in our hospital outpatients.
Methods: In this study, we investigated 37 patients with a diagnosis of stasis dermatitis in our hospital from 2014 to 2019. We reviewed clinical manifestations and relation with other vascular disease.
Results: In total 37 cases, 20 (54.1%) patients were female and 17 (45.9%) patients were male. Twelve two (59.5%) patients were presented as erythema, followed by 14 (37.8%) as purpuric lesions and 11 (29.7%) as brownish changes. There were 4 (10.8%) patients showed crust, 3 (8.1%) as edema, 2 (5.4%) as scale, 2 (5.4%) as ulcer. For symptoms, 15 (40.5%) patients complained itching, 4 (10.8%) as tenderness, 3 (8.1%) as pain, 1 (2.7%). In relation with other vascular disease, 16 (43.2%) patients represented with vein related disease such as deep vein thrombosis, varicose vein and thrombophlebitis. However, there was no arterial disease such as arteriosclerosis obliterans.
Conclusion: The result shows clinical manifestations of stasis dermatitis and association with other specific vascular diseases. By understanding these findings, it is expected that better treatment outcome will be obtained.
