Abstract
The presence of a thrombus at the level of a superficial vein and the inflammatory response that comes with it, they trigger the clinical picture of superficial thrombophlebitis, this pathology initially was considered a local disorder, fast resolution and benign course, with the best knowledge of the natural history of the disease has proven the high probability of developing thromboembolic complications that compromise life. The findings in the evaluation of the patient create the initial clinical suspicion, however, to confirm diagnoses is required the use of ultrasound duplex to determine the presence of a clot in the superficial circulation, the extension and the proximity of this to the deep venous system. The potential risk of developing venous thromboembolism has led to a change in the treatment, which rather than treat the discomfort for the patient, It is oriented on avoid such complications.
