Article Synopsis
- - Venous stasis dermatitis is a skin condition often caused by poor blood flow in the legs, usually due to chronic venous insufficiency that can result from occlusions in major veins like the iliac and femoral veins.
- - A case study highlighted a patient with severe leg ulcers and inability to walk due to a tilted IVC filter that blocked blood flow, which was addressed through repeated thrombectomies to restore circulation.
- - The findings stress the need for a collaborative medical approach in treating patients with venous insufficiency, aiming for more effective solutions beyond standard care practices.

When not related to a clear diagnosis, CP can be characterized as idiopathic pruritus. CP is both a diagnostically and therapeutically challenging presentation due to the variety of systemic, dermatological, neurological, and psychogenic diseases that must be ruled out before diagnosing idiopathic pruritus.
