Jason Y1 - 2021 N1 - T2 - The Atlas of Emergency Medicine, 5e AB - Abdominal striae are linear, depressed, pink or bluish scar-like lesions that may later become silver or white. They are caused by weakening of the elastic cutaneous tissues from chronic stretching. They most commonly occur on the abdomen but are also seen on the buttocks, breasts, axilla, and thighs. Striae are commonly seen in obesity, pregnancy, rapid growth associated with puberty, Cushing syndrome, and chronic topical corticosteroid treatment.
