Clinico-Anatomical and Radiological Correlation of Varicose Veins of Lower Limb – A Cross-sectional Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Introduction: Duplex Doppler evaluation of lower limb veins was performed to evaluate the pattern of involvement of various level of incompetence in Indian patients with varicose veins. A prospective In this study, we evaluated the frequency and risk factors for different types of varicose veins of lower limb using Doppler ultrasound. Material and Methods: Doppler study of 50 patients presenting with varicose veins coming for evaluation to our Radiology department of S.C.B. Medical College was done. The clinico-etiological-anatomical and pathological (CEAP) classification was applied for assessment. The site of incompetency particularly Sapheno-femoral, Saphenopopliteal junction and the perforators assessed to find the most commonly encountered incompetency. During the year 2017, over a period of 12 months, 60 cases of varicose veins of lower limb were evaluated by using Doppler ultrasound. Frequency distribution and descriptive statistics of the various types of varicose veins of lower limb were analysed. Results: Varicose veins were commonly observed in the age group 30-50yrs (52%) and leas common in the age group 10-20 yrs (4%). It was seen more common unilaterally 32 cases (64%) than bilaterally18 cases (36%). In this study the commonest clinical presentation is complaint of dilated, tortuous swellings/varicose veins in the lower limb. Conclusion: Patients with varicose veins and chronic venous disease, have varying degrees of incompetence and Color Doppler is very useful in identifying the distribution and extent of reflux in these patients.
