Résumé : Leg ulcers of juvenile onset are uncommon. The injectious origin is fairly frequent but the presence of leg ulcers in children should prompt an investigation into possible underlying causes especially hemangioma, vasculitis, inborn errors of metabolism (i.e. prolidase deficiency), hemoglobinopathies, occult spinal dysraphism and immunodeficiencies. Bacteriological investigations are essentiel and a skin biopsy specimen may be able to differentiate some of these disorders.
