A photograph of an extravasation injury caused by the leakage of intravenous drugs or solutions from the vein into the surrounding tissues during intravenous administration. Once an extravasation has occurred, damage can continue for months and involve nerves, tendons and joints. If treatment is delayed, surgical debridement, skin grafting, and even amputation may be the unfortunate consequences.
