What is the clinical sign shown?
What might be the underlying pathology?
This is Grey-Turner's sign with haemorrhage appearing in both flanks. It is due to extensive retro-peritoneal bleeding and typically occurs in haemorrhagic pancreatitis but can also occur in ruptured aortic aneurysm and in a variety of other conditions complicated by a retro-peritoneal bleed, eg malignancy or coagulation disorder.
