Abstract

Abstract

Nicolau syndrome (embolia cutis medicamentosa) is an uncommon complication of intramuscular injection leading to necrosis of skin and underlying tissue to a variable extent. I am reporting one such case who developed this complication after intravenous injection of diclofenac sodium. The aim of reporting this case is to create awareness among our colleagues and staff to exercise precautions during parental injection administration.
