Petechia of the lower leg in a person with platelets of 3 due to ITP (immune thrombocytopenia).The most common cause of petechiae is through physical trauma such as a hard bout of coughing, holding breath, vomiting, or crying, which can result in facial petechiae, especially around the eyes.
Other symptoms include: headache, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, [14] muscle pain, [15] or a scarlatiniform rash or palatal petechiae, the latter being an uncommon but highly specific finding. [13] Symptoms typically begin one to three days after exposure and last seven to ten days. [3] [13]
Pierre Robin sequence [a] (/ p j ɛər r ɔː ˈ b æ̃ /; [3] abbreviated PRS) is a congenital defect observed in humans which is characterized by facial abnormalities.The three main features are micrognathia (abnormally small mandible), which causes glossoptosis (downwardly displaced or retracted tongue), which in turn causes breathing problems due to obstruction of the upper airway.
Palatal petechiae. Petechiae on the soft palate are mainly associated with streptococcal pharyngitis, [6] and as such it is an uncommon but highly specific finding. [7] 10 to 30 percent of palatal petechiae cases are estimated to be caused by suction, which can be habitual or secondary to fellatio. [8]
Initially a vascular lesion is usually noted on the skin which can be firm and hard (indurated). Areas of tiny red dots (petechiae) can appear around the lesion or on other parts of the body. If the vascular lesion is internal, these petechiae and bruising can be seen on the skin. Bruising and spontaneous bleeding can also occur.
[19] [20] Clinically, the diagnosis of any particular skin condition is made by gathering pertinent information regarding the presenting skin lesion(s), including the location (such as arms, head, legs), symptoms (pruritus, pain), duration (acute or chronic), arrangement (solitary, generalized, annular, linear), morphology (macules, papules ...
