Overview
The presence of skin lesions on physical examination is highly suggestive of blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome.
Physical Examination
Physical examination of patients with blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome is usually remarkable for cutaneous manifestations.[1]
Appearance of the Patient
- Patients with blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome usually appear normal.
Vital Signs
- Tachycardia with regular pulse
Skin
- Skin lesions in patients with blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome classified into:[2]
- Cutaneous and
- Extracutaneous manifestations
Cutaneous manifestations
- The skin lesions are usually multifocal venous malformations which are dark blue in colour[3][4]
- These lesions vary from millimeters to centimeters in size and diameter
- Venous malformations number range from few to hundreds
- Skin lesions have been categorised into 3 types[5]
Extracutaneous manifestations
- Apart from skin the most commonly organ that is involved in patients with blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome is GI tract[6]
- In GI tract the most commonly involved region is small intestine[7]
- The venous malformations in GI tract are prone to bleeding[8]
- The bleeding of the venous malformations in GI tract may leads to iron deficiency anemia
- In severe cases the bleeding might even leads to death[9]
Heart
- Cardiovascular examination of patients with blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome is usually normal
Neuromuscular
