Overview
Lipodermatosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory condition of the subcutaneous fat, most often affecting the lower legs. It is strongly linked to chronic venous insufficiency. Damaged venous valves lead to venous hypertension, causing leakage of fibrinogen into the dermis, hypoxia, inflammation, and fibrosis.
Acute cases present with painful, erythematous, tender plaques. Subacute disease shows non-tender, hyperpigmented, sclerotic plaques from hemosiderin deposition. Chronic disease produces the classic “inverted champagne bottle” leg: tapered lower leg with proximal edema and distal fibrosis.
Risk factors include obesity, history of DVT, prolonged standing, sedentary lifestyle, older age, smoking, and hypercoagulable states. Diagnosis is clinical and supported by duplex ultrasound assessing venous incompetence or thrombosis, and ABPI to rule out arterial disease.
This condition reflects advanced venous disease where long-standing venous hypertension reshapes the skin and soft tissue, often progressing to venous ulcers if untreated.

Vemos a una mujer desmayarse durante una extracción de sangre. En la mayoría de los casos, se debe a una respuesta vasovagal, un reflejo que reduce temporalmente el flujo de sangre al cerebro y provoca una pérdida breve del conocimiento.
