Chronic superficial venous disorders are a frequent reason for medical consultation. Depending on the study, between 20% and 60% of the general population suffer from varicose veins of the lower limbs. The socio-economic cost of venous disease is considerable, accounting for between 1% and 3% of national healthcare budgets. The factors leading to the formation of varicose veins and the pathogenesis are not clearly elucidated, but two factors have been identified: weakness of the venous wall and hemodynamic disorders. Symptoms and clinical signs are highly variable, ranging from aesthetic dissatisfaction to leg ulcers.

Varicose vein disease corresponds anatomically to an alteration of the venous wall and/or the valve system of one or more superficial veins, or segments of these veins, and is characterized by reflux causing venous hypertension. The clinical signs, precisely described by the CEAP classification (clinical, etiological, anatomical, pathophysiological), include aside asymptomatic forms, telangiectasias, varicose veins, edema, and skin disorders up to the stage of leg ulcers. The functional signs, also very variable and sometimes absent, are not limited to leg heaviness. Non-specific, they are mainly characterized by their timing and mode of occurrence. Duplex ultrasound (DU) examination allows to confirm the existence of venous reflux, to specify its extension, to measure the diameter of the pathological veins and to analyze their wall remodeling. DU is essential to precisely characterize the varicose disease to define the therapeutic modalities to be considered. Its results are recorded on a venous cartography which graphically represents all the echo-anatomical and hemodynamic data collected. In the event of varicose disease, a specialized medical consultation is necessary to offer therapeutic care adapted to the specific problem of each patient.</p>","PeriodicalId":94123,"journal":{"name":"La Revue du praticien","volume":"74 7","pages":"738-744"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142484477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
