This paper describes the successful outcome of homeopathic treatment  
in a case of resistant livedoid vasculopathy (LV). LV is a rare  
disease characterized by chronic recurrent and painful ulceration of  
the lower limbs, frequently associated to atrophie blanche (AB),  
probably due to procoagulant conditions. Most literature reports  
single or very few cases; response to treatment is difficult, even  
resistant. This patient suffered LV for 7 years before seeking  
homeopathic treatment; ulcers recurred frequently, at intervals less  
than 3 months, in spite of continual use of pentoxyfilline.  
Configuration of signs and symptoms strongly pointed out to the  
prescription of homeopathic remedy Sepia succus that promptly elicited  
significant improvement of LV and the patient's overall state (non  
suppressive treatment). Considerations are made on the value of single  
case reports and the reliability of prescriptions grounded on  
consistent signs and coherence among the manifold features of  
individual disease.
