Treatment of iatrogenic calcinosis cutis in neonates with topical steroids
Journal Title: Ege Tıp Dergisi - Year 2016, Vol 55, Issue 4
Abstract
Calcinosis cutis, the deposition of calcium salts in the dermis, can be dystrophic, metastatic, iatrogenic, or idiopathic. Calcinosis cutis occurs through a variety of pathogenetic mechanisms. Here, we described a case of iatrogenic calcinosis cutis secondary to extravasation of an intravenous calcium-containing solution in a newborn, with topical steroid treatment. Topical steroid treatment decreased convalescence period clinically and radiologically in this disease with no current specific therapy.
