Reticulated telangiectasic erythema is a cutaneous complication reported after in the implementation of pacemakers and cardiac defibrillators. Here we report a case occurring after the implantation of a morphine pump.
Reticulated and pigmented telangiectasic erythema was observed at the morphine pump implantation site in a 56-year-old man presenting chronic lower back pain.
To date, cutaneous telangiectasic erythema has been reported following implantation of cardiac defibrillators and pacemakers although the physiopathogenesis of the condition is poorly understood. An identical case was recently described following implantation of morphine pump, as in our case. We discuss hypotheses concerning the possible physiopathogenesis of such lesions.
网状毛细血管扩张性红斑是在植入起搏器和心脏除颤器后报道的一种皮肤并发症。在此,我们报告一例在植入吗啡泵后发生的病例。
在一名患有慢性下背痛的56岁男性的吗啡泵植入部位观察到网状色素沉着性毛细血管扩张性红斑。
迄今为止,尽管对心脏除颤器和起搏器植入后皮肤毛细血管扩张性红斑的发病机制了解甚少,但已有相关报道。最近有一例与我们病例相同的情况,即在吗啡泵植入后出现。我们讨论了关于此类病变可能发病机制的假说。
