VENOUS DISORDERS

- Symptoms of venous hypertension such as heavy legs may be present without a visible venous pathology.

- Varicose veins may be present without symptoms but typically progress and lead to chronic venous insufficiency.

- Chronic venous insufficiency reflects a clinical syndrom of skin changes which may lead to serious consequences such as leg ulceration.

- Acute manifestations of venous disease are serious disorders such as phlebitis, thrombosis, deep venous thrombosis (DVT). These acute disorders usually occur suddenly without pre-existing conditions, but can also be triggered by chronic venous disease.

Here is a general description of the different disorders and their symptoms :

>>> "Chronic venous diseases"
