Сlinical case of treatment of superficial thrombophlebitis (unique in its originality)

Abstract

Among patients with varicose veins, superficial vein thrombophlebitis occurs in 4–59% of patients. Unfortunately, despite the large number of published official sources with recommendations for the treatment of vein thrombophlebitis in our daily clinical practice, we continue to meet not just with casuistic cases, but because of their absurdity, which are beyond reasonable understanding (the appointment of leeches, c auterization of veins with celandine, alcohol compresses and lotions with dimexide). This clinical case report describes the case of a 65-year-old patient who initially sought medical help from a local therapist due to the appearance of a single seal and hyperemia in the upper third of the lower leg. For two weeks, the patient tried to independently stop the inflammation with alcohol compresses. Due to the lack of a positive effect, the district therapist prescribed antibiotics and warming compresses with combined nonivamide/nicoboxil ointment. Two weeks later, with the progression of inflammation and multiple purulent wounds on the background of necrosis foci throughout the inner surface of the entire lower limb, the patient turned to our medical center. As a result, it took us more than two months to stop the inflammation and heal extensive purulent wounds with secondary tension. Treatment of vein thrombophlebitis in varicose veins has been developed in detail for a long time and in detail. The tactics of using conservative means and operational benefits depend on the localization, prevalence, acute or chronic course of the disease. The purpose of this publication is to focus the attention of specialists of a wide profile on a specific example from practice on the choice of methods of treatment of vein thrombophlebitis.
