Nicolau Syndrome: A Rare but Serious Complication

The field of medicine constantly encounters intricate cases, often demanding a meticulous approach to diagnosis and treatment. This research explores a rare complication known as Nicolau syndrome, which occurs after the injection of various drugs. The authors meticulously document a case study of a 31-year-old male who developed Nicolau syndrome after receiving an intramuscular injection of benzathine penicillin. Through biopsy and subsequent treatment with enoxaparin and cilostazol, the patient experienced improvement. This case study sheds light on the importance of recognizing and effectively managing this rare but potentially serious condition.
