| | PHLEBITIS |
 | | The superficial phlebitis is the most common form of phlebitis and occurs in veins near the skin's surface usually in the legs. | | | Deep phlebitis, on the other hand, is less common and more dangerous as it affects the internal veins of the legs. | | | Often this condition is followed by thrombosis (clotting of the blood). |

| | Patients who present with clinical evidence of superficial phlebitis often have deep system involvement that is clinically occult. | | | Because ultrasound can miss DVT, all patients with superficial phlebitis who also have chest symptoms (such as pain, shortness of breath, or cough) should have a chest x-ray and ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan, even if a duplex examination fails to reveal deep vein thrombosis. | | | In the past, surgical interruption of the saphenofemoral junction (with or without removal of the saphenous vein) was recommended for patients with greater saphenous phlebitis approaching the saphenofemoral junction. |
