Abstract
A case with acrodermatitis continua Hallopeau, 12 years old female, was reported. The results of various investigations with the patient revealed that she might have a disposition of congestion at the periphery of her extremities. She was, therefore, treated by Kallilrein (pancreatic circulatory hormone) and Tolazoline (priscol, sympatholytic agent) and it was very successful. From these findings, it is assumed that acrodermatitis continua may occur in the following sequences; hormonal disturbance→unbalance of autonomic nervous system→vasomotoric nervous disturbance→congestion→acceleration of congestion due to the presence of arterio-venoanastomosis→local nutritional disturbances→acrodermatitis continua.
