Characteristics of Peripheral Neuropathy in Patients With Livedoid Vasculopathy.
Journal of Clinical Neuromuscular Disease 2023 March 2
Livedoid vasculopathy (LV) is an ulcerative disorder of the lower extremities characterized by dermal vessel thrombosis with unclear cause. Recent reports of LV-associated upper extremity peripheral neuropathy and epineurial thrombosis suggest a systemic etiology for the condition. We sought to outline the characteristics of peripheral neuropathy in patients with LV. Cases of LV with concurrent peripheral neuropathy and reviewable electrodiagnostic testing reports were identified by electronic medical record database query and examined in detail. Of 53 patients with LV, 33 (62%) had peripheral neuropathy, 11 had reviewable electrodiagnostic reports, and 6 had no clear alternative explanation for neuropathy. Distal symmetric polyneuropathy was the most commonly observed pattern of neuropathy (n = 3) followed by mononeuropathy multiplex (n = 2). Most patients experienced symptoms in both upper and lower extremities (n = 4). Peripheral neuropathy is common in patients with LV. Whether this association is reflective of a systemic, prothrombotic etiology remains to be determined.
