Microvascular occlusion refers to conditions that can present with retiform purpura.[1] It has been suggested that phenylephrine may be a cause.[2]
Signs and symptoms
[edit]Microvascular occlusions appears as bland necrosis without inflammation and retiform purpura.[3]
Causes
[edit]Microvascular occlusions can be caused by heparin-induced thrombocytopenia, cryoglobulinemia, angioinvasive organisms, embolization, disseminated intravascular coagulation, livedoid vasculopathy, cell occlusion syndromes, and iatrogenic causes.[3]
Outlook
[edit]The outcomes of microvascular occlusions are usually influenced by the degree, length, nature of the underlying cause, and prompt and effective treatment.[3]
