ABSTRACT

Background: In normal conditions thoracoabdominal veins are not visible or prominent. When there is an obstructive process in deep veins of the pelvis or the abdomen, they represent a way to facilitate blood return to the heart. In other rare conditions, they may suffer secondary thrombophlebitis as in trauma, hypercoagulation, and mammary surgery, among others. Objective. To present patients with abdominal or thoracic wall thrombophlebitis treated in the last 30 years. Material and methods. Chart and photographic review of eight patients with ages from 25 to 56 years old seen with this condition. Results. Six patients were seen and treated as outpatients with local heat, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs and analgesics. Varicothrombectomy was done in a patient with suprapubic thrombosis, and a patient with a huge abdominal hernia with parietal vein thrombosis was operated upon. All patients recuperated in less than eight weeks. Conclusions. As in any territory of the venous system, thrombophlebitis can affect the thoracoepigastric region, causing pain, erythema, and a palpable subcutaneous cord. Most of the times is a limited condition improving with nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs and occasionally may require excision or drainage. Repeated trauma, hypercoagulability or even neoplasms have to be rulled out occasionally.
