Zusammenfassung

Die lineare zirkumskripte Sklerodermie als eine Form der zirkumskripten Sklerodermie imponiert klinisch durch lineare, bandförmige, sklerotische Plaques, die zu Gelenkkontrakturen, Muskelatrophie und Bewegungseinschränkung führen können. Die Ätiologie ist unklar, und bislang ist keine kausale Therapie bekannt. Neue Therapiemodelle zeigen gute Erfolge mit einer hoch dosierten Prednisolon-Pulstherapie kombiniert mit Methotrexat. Unsere Patientin konnten wir erfolgreich mit 6 Zyklen einer 3-tägigen intravenösen Prednisolon-Therapie (500 mg/Tag) in Kombination mit oraler Methotrexat-Gabe (15 mg/Woche) behandeln.

Abstract

Linear localized scleroderma is a variant of localized scleroderma characterized by linear bands and sclerotic plaques of the skin, which can result in contractures, muscle atrophy and debilitating deformities. The etiology remains unknown and no specific therapy is available. Regimens combining pulsed high-dose corticosteroids with methotrexate therapy seem promising. Our patient responded well to intravenous prednisolone (500 mg/d) for 3 consecutive days monthly combined with an oral dose of methotrexate of (15 mg/wk).
