Abstract

Leg ulcers often referred to as cruris ulcers refer to skin discontinuities with the loss of the epidermis, and part of the dermis or the entire dermis, generally occurring in the lower limbs due to various disease processes and other causative factors. Cruris ulcers can also be defined as leg ulcers that do not show signs of healing in less than four weeks. The exact cause has not been acknowledged, but some conditions such as illness can play a role in causing this disease. Some theories related to the diseases underlying the cruris ulcer are venous disorders around 80%, arterial disorders around 5%, and trauma or infections around 5%. The cruris ulcer due to neuropathic disease occurs in about 5% of cases, as a result of peripheral neuropathy, usually in patients with diabetes and leprosy, local paresthesias, or lack of sensation, at pressure points on the feet can cause prolonged microtrauma, eventually ulceration. Other causes are systemic disease and malignancy. Ulcers are often preceded by a disruption of venous flow (chronic venous insufficiency) which then develops into static dermatitis, which in turn develops into small ulcers that are increasingly larger. Cruris ulcers are usually chronic, occur in overweight patients, pregnancy, smoking, using tight clothing, and long-standing physical activities. In this retrospective descriptive study, clinical forms were observed, and several factors were considered as triggers for the leg ulcers. In the present study, the cruris ulcer was caused by the weakness of the vein 18 (58.1%), neuropathic 6 (19%), arterial 4 (12.9%), and infection/trauma 3 (9.8%).
