Treatment of iatrogenic calcinosis cutis in neonates with topical steroids

Kalsinosis kutis ciltte kalsiyum tuzlarının birikimi olup, distrofik, metastatik, idiyopatik ve iyatrojenik olarak ayrılmaktadır. Kalsinozis kutis çeşitli patogenetik mekanizmalar aracılığıyla meydana gelir. Bu yazıda, intravenöz kalsiyum içeren çözeltinin ekstravazasyonu sonucu gelişen, topikal steroid ile tedavi edilen bir yenidoğan olgusu sunulmuştur. Şu anda özgül tedavisi olmayan bu durumun, topikal steroid tedavisi ile klinik ve radyolojik düzelme dönemini kısalttığı görüldü

Yenidoğandaki iyatrojenik kalsinozis kutisin topikal steroid ile tedavisi

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
