Abstract
Varicose veins have troubled mankind for thousands of years, and their various treatments and complications have been
documented from the times of Hippocrates. Although thrombophlebitis is a relatively common condition in the superficial
veins of the upper or lower limbs, it usually follows some intravenous intervention or trauma. Thrombosis followed by
thrombophlebitis in varicose veins has seldom been reported in literature but the occurrence of spontaneous thrombosis in
only the above knee perforator veins of the lower limb has been seldom mentioned. We report the case of a patient with long
standing varicose veins of the left lower limb presenting with spontaneous thrombosis of only the above knee perforators
and our subsequent management.
