Description

Using case studies, the authors provide information about atrophie blanche (AB), common clinical sign in patients with leg ulcers. AB may result from venous hypertension with local involvement or part of a livedoid vasculopathy (LV). This condition (AB) is sometimes misidentified as a disease. The authors' review of the literature corrects this inaccuracy and reviews LV as a thrombo-occlusive disorder.
