Phlegmasia dolens, a severe leg swelling due to deep vein thrombosis, can lead to serious complications. This case highlights key sonographic findings for diagnosing this rare condition.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Medicine
  • Radiology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Phlegmasia dolens is a rare but severe condition characterized by extensive deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the lower extremities.
  • It is associated with significant morbidity, including venous gangrene, compartment syndrome, and arterial compromise, posing a diagnostic challenge.

Observation:

  • This report details the sonographic findings in a patient presenting with symptoms suggestive of phlegmasia dolens.
  • Ultrasound imaging is crucial for visualizing the extent of venous thrombosis and associated complications.

Findings:

  • Sonography revealed massive venous thrombosis affecting the lower extremities.
  • Specific imaging characteristics indicative of phlegmasia dolens were observed, aiding in diagnosis.

Implications:

  • Accurate and timely diagnosis of phlegmasia dolens through sonography is critical for prompt management.
  • Understanding the sonographic presentation can improve patient outcomes and reduce the risk of severe complications.
