A 63-year-old women developed livedo reticularis during treatment with amantadine. This reversible side effect of amantadine has been most o ften seen in women and is frequently associated with persistent ankle edema. We discuss the signs and symptoms, pathogenesis and treatment o f amantadine-induced livedo reticularis.
