Abstract
- Abstract Background Rumpel Leede sign (RLS) is a clinical presentation observed at the extremities due to pressure applied externally. The appearance ranges from scattered pin-point rashes to an entire arm covered with petechial hemorrhage depending upon the severity. This phenomenon is relatively uncommon in clinical practice. Case presentation A 64 year old female patient developed a rash in the normal skin area below the compression area on the second day of single catheter coronary angiography. The patient's rash resolved without treatment after 3 days. Conclusions We report a case of hypertension and hyperlipidemia with a petechial rash on the skin under the tourniquet compressed by the radial artery after coronary angiography, which is consistent with the Rumpel-Leede phenomenon. clinicians should be watchful of these symptoms.
