Rumpel-Leede Phenomenon Associated with Pneumatic Compression: A Case Report
Rumpel-Leede phenomenon is a rarely reported condition with an unknown prevalence. It is characterized by the acute development of non-blanchable purpuric macules resulting from dermal capillary rupture caused by compressive forces. We report a case of Rumpel-Leede phenomenon in both feet following...

description | Rumpel-Leede phenomenon is a rarely reported condition with an unknown prevalence. It is characterized by the acute development of non-blanchable purpuric macules resulting from dermal capillary rupture caused by compressive forces. We report a case of Rumpel-Leede phenomenon in both feet following the application of pneumatic compression in a 49-year-old woman who underwent en bloc spondylectomy for a giant cell tumor of the spine. The condition appeared after the application of pneumatic compression on both legs for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis, and the lesions spontaneously resolved after discontinuation of compression. Currently, most cases are reported in patients with a history of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, or thrombocytopenia. We report a case of Rumpel-Leede phenomenon in a patient without underlying medical conditions. In our patient, capillary fragility combined with increased intracapillary pressure was hypothesized as the underlying mechanism. |
