Dermatoses Resulting from Disorders of the Veins and Arteries

Abstract

Dermatoses resulting from disorders of the veins and arteries are commonly encountered in medicine, not just by dermatologists, but also by others including vascular surgeons, paediatricians, care of the elderly physicians and in general practice. The ability to recognise and thus treat these conditions is therefore an important skill for physicians of all specialties. This chapter outlines conditions of arterial and arteriolar disorders, neurovascular disorders, telangiectases, malformations and venous disorders.
