 Venous thrombosis can occur in either the superficial or the deeper veins. Superficial veins are not as concerning as deeper veins when they have a blood clot. Superficial veins might just appear like a cord where you can actually see and palpate the blood clot in the superficial vein. Signs and symptoms are usually mild such as a little bit of swelling, maybe some discomfort, some redness, tenderness to the touch. Signs and symptoms for deep vein thrombosis might be similar but also the patient might have some unilateral edema where the circumference of one calf is bigger than the other one in addition to edema and some discomfort and then sometimes they can also have some warmth because of the inflammation that happens. And typically superficial vein venous thrombosis it just kind of goes away where deep vein thrombosis is much more concerning and we have to watch out for complications and treat the patient accordingly.
