RESUMEN
Abstract: Psoriasis is a chronic disease, characterized by erythematous scaly lesions, presented in eight different forms: plaques, guttate, pustular, erythrodermic, inverse, nail and scalp psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis. Its development depends on genetic factors, external stimulus and immune response alteration.1 Proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-alpha, IL-12 and 23 may also be involved. In the worst cases, systemic complications linked to endothelial alterations may occur. A literature review was conducted for a better understanding of what roles VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) and ICAM-1 (intercellular adhesion molecule) have, among other cytokines, in systemic capillary leak syndrome, involved in erythrodermic and pustular psoriasis, the most unstable forms of the disease.

A síndrome de extravasamento capilar sistêmico é rara e causada por aumento da permeabilidade capilar. Várias etiologias estão envolvidas. No nosso serviço de Dermatologia, a principal é a psoríase instável. Diversos tratamentos são usados e muitos ainda estão em estudo. Nosso objetivo foi apresentar esta situação clínica potencialmente fatal que ocorre em nossa especialidade.
The systemic capillary leak syndrome is rare and caused by increased capillary permeability. Several etiologies are involved. In our Department of Dermatology the main one is unstable psoriasis. Several treatments are used and many are still under study. Our objective was to present this potentially fatal medical condition that occurs in our specialty.

Hypoxic-ischemic cerebral injury that occurs during the perinatal period is one of the most commonly recognized cause of long-term neurological deficit in children, often referred to as cerebral palsy. We describe a case with capillary leak syndrome and seizures to co-morbid status epilepticus related to perinatal hypoxicischemic encephalopathy in newborn period.
