Abstract

Among these 3 patients, only one patient was accompanied with bilateral leg edema and dilated abdominal veins. [...]concurrence of edema and ulcers on the legs and dilated abdominal veins due to obstruction of inferior vena cava without DVT on the leg, which was exactly the same condition in our case, seems to occur rarely. [...]the patient's life-style is probably responsible for the disease development; although, external injury could also be a trigger for the skin ulcers.
