- Abstract
Nicolau syndrome is a skin and underlying tissue necrosis resulting from vascular occlusion after various injections of certain drugs. Intramuscular injections are the most common cause but it may occur after other types of parenteral interventions. There are many medications reported as causative factors inducing Nicolau syndrome including penicillin, nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, local anesthetics, and several others. We present an observational study of diclofenac induced Nicolau syndrome.
