Abstract
Disseminated intravascular coagulation is a complex hemostatic imbalance associated with many disease states. The potentially lethal systemic consequences of this disease mandate that the podiatric physician obtain a complete detailed history in addition to proceeding with appropriate consultations from other specialties. If haste is utilized and surgical intervention is undertaken without careful consideration, a potentially fatal situation may ensue. A comprehensive case report highlighting the pedal presentation and complications, and an overview of this disease process are presented.
