Abstract

We herein report two new adolescent cases of Bier anemic spots, cyanosis, and urticaria-like eruption (BASCULE) syndrome. This rare, recently described condition may be associated with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and other forms of orthostatic intolerance. This report provides details on two cases and a literature review.

Keywords: BASCULE syndrome; bier anemic spots; cyanosis; orthostatic intolerance; postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome; urticaria.
