Ulcerative livedoid vasculopathy responding to clopidogrel

Livedoid vasculopathy (LV) is a thrombotic, noninflammatory disorder that typically affects the lower extremities. Treatments for LV are widely varied and can be difficult to obtain because of high cost or lack of availability. We present a case of LV with ulcers in an adult woman successfully treated with clopidogrel, a widely available antiplatelet agent. Our case suggests that clopidogrel can be an effective and accessible treatment option for ulcerative LV.
