Vasopressin (Pitressin, 8-arginine vasopressin) is a potent vasoconstrictor of splanchnic arterioles. When administered by continuous intravenous infusion, it reduces portal blood flow and pressure and is used in the management of bleeding esophageal varices. We describe a purpuric and necrotic cutaneous reaction to vasopressin that occurred at locations distant from intravenous catheter sites, and we review previous reports of similar reactions.
