1-7 Stasis Dermatitis Due to Varicose Veins
Increased intralumenal pressure in veins, usually due to stasis, result in dilation and tortuosity of the vessels. When this condition affects superficial veins of the lower extremities, it can result in edema and trophic changes of the skin, as illustrated here. Histologically, varicose veins show irregular wall thickness, and the vessel valves are often deformed. Thromboses occurring in superficial leg veins only rarely embolize (in contrast to thromboses of the deep veins and pelvis).		 dermatitis
