Abstract :ABSTRACT Acute Infantile Hemorrhagic Edema (AIHE) is a rare leukocytoclastic vasculitis that primarily affects small vessels in the skin, commonly seen between the ages of 6 and 24 months. It is characterized by ecchymosis, purpura, and edema on the skin. The condition presents a benign course and typically resolves within 1-3 weeks. This article presents the case of a 9-month-old girl who presented with widespread ecchymosis and edema in her legs, was diagnosed with Acute Infantile Hemorrhagic Edema, and received intravenous (IV) methylprednisolone treatment. AIHE is an important differential diagnosis to consider in young children presenting with ecchymosis. Awareness about this condition is of utmost importance.

Lezyonlar ağrılı ve ödemli olabilirken genellikle birleşme eğilimi gösterir. Gövde genellikle korunurken genital bölgede de döküntü gelişebilir. Bazı olgularda ateş eşlik edebilmektedir. Bu yazıda Akut İnfantil Hemorajik Ödem tanısı ile izlenen ve intravenöz (IV) metilprednisolon tedavisi verilen 9 aylık kız hasta sunulacaktır.
