Causalgic form of postphlebitic syndrome. A variety of reflex sympathetic dystrophy caused by acute deep thrombophlebitis.
The causalgic form of the postphlebitic syndrome or reflex sympathetic dystrophy resulting from acute deep thrombophlebitis is a relatively uncommon and, unfortunately, frequently unrecognized form of the postphlebitic syndrome. The usual signs of venous insufficiency are minimal, but severe burning pain is characteristic, usually increased by dependency. The diagnosis is confirmed by phlebography and the response to a lumbar sympathetic block. A lumbar sympathectomy produces permanent pain relief.

Causes and prevention of failure in varicose vein operations.
One hundred and one patients with poor results from the operative treatment of varicose veins were studied in an effort to determine the cause of the surgical failure. In a large majority, reoperation revealed that the primary cause of the poor result was the improper performance of the original operation. A smaller number of failures were due to errors in selecting the operative procedure. Relatively few poor results in long-term follow-up were attributable to the congenital predisposition to varicosity. When operation is properly planned and executed, it produces better long-term results than the injection compression therapy of varicose veins.
