VARICES OF LOWER LIMBS AND THE DIAGNOSIS OF DEEP VENOUS THROMBOSIS: A CASE REPORT
A clinical case related to Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) will be analyzed, having as reference a patient from the Miguel Couto Municipal Hospital (HMMC) in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Patient with edema, hyperemia and pain in the right lower limb. It evolves with increased edema and hyperemia, associated with intense pain. Biochemical and imaging tests with Doppler ultrasonography of the lower limbs, in addition to D-dimer, resulted in a diagnosis of Superficial Venous Thrombosis (SVT) and differential diagnosis of DVT. The saphenectomy procedure and guidance for the use of compression stockings were performed in order to prevent the formation of new thrombi.
