In each type of superficial thrombophlebitis, the condition presents as redness and tenderness along the course of the vein, usually accompanied by swelling. Bleeding also can occur at the site of a varicose vein. (See Presentation .) [emedicine.medscape.com]
Musculoskeletal
- Trousseau Sign
Thrombophlebitis migrans can be a sign of malignancy - Trousseau sign of malignancy. [7]. Diagnosis [ edit ] The diagnosis for thrombophlebitis is primarily based on the appearance of the affected area. [en.wikipedia.org]
Workup
Other workup for malignancy is not routinely indicated unless history, physical exam, or laboratory evaluation suggests pathology. [asams.org]
(See Etiology, Presentation, and Workup .) Thrombosis and thrombophlebitis of the superficial venous system receive little attention in medical and surgical textbooks. [emedicine.medscape.com]
An extensive workup is only warranted if there is significant concern for a hypercoagulability disorder or cancer, both of which can be evaluated with an appropriate review of systems, family history, and physical exam. [dovepress.com]
Occult cancers may be present in patients with apparently idiopathic DVT, but extensive workup of patients for tumors is not recommended unless patients have major risk factors for cancer or symptoms suggestive of an occult cancer. [msdmanuals.com]

TREATMENT The treatment of STP varies greatly in clinical practice. [phlebolymphology.org]
Treatment for DVT Treatment for DVT can include: treatment with anticoagulant (blood thinning) medicines, to prevent further clotting blood tests to monitor the 'stickiness' of the blood reducing risk factors such as quitting cigarettes or losing excess [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]
Prognosis
Prognosis and Long-Term Managment The prognosis of people with superficial thrombophlebitis depends on its etiology, the extent of involvement, and whether there was extension of blood clot into the deep venous system. [austinvaricosevein.com]
What are the symptoms, treatment, and prognosis for phlebitis? Pain, swelling, redness, and tenderness are some common symptoms of phlebitis. [medicinenet.com]
Aspirin affects the blood's clotting ability and can help prevent vascular coagulation Prognosis: Dependant upon the severity and underlying medical cause. [lymphedemapeople.com]
Prognosis The prognosis in superficial thrombophlebitis is usually good. Superficial phlebitis is rarely associated with PE, though it can occur, particularly if the process extends into a deep vein. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Infectious, mainly syphilis and psittacosis Mondor disease Rare presentation of anterior chest/breast veins of women System(s) affected: cardiovascular Synonym(s): phlebitis; phlebothrombosis Geriatric Considerations Septic thrombophlebitis is more common; prognosis [unboundmedicine.com]
Etiology
Etiology Risk factors The most important clinically identifiable risk factors for thrombophlebitis are a prior history of superficial phlebitis, DVT, and PE. [emedicine.medscape.com]
If a careful history and physical examination and baseline laboratory studies fail to suggest a malignant etiology for the thrombosis, further workup for occult neoplasm is rarely warranted. [asams.org]
Etiology and Pathophysiology Similar to deep venous thrombosis; Virchow triad of vessel trauma, stasis, and hypercoagulability (genetic, iatrogenic, or idiopathic) Varicose veins play a primary role in etiology of lower extremity phlebitis. [unboundmedicine.com]

Prevention To prevent phlebitis, people should eat a high-fiber, heart-healthy diet and engage in regular physical exercises such as walking, bicycling, or running. [encyclopedia.com]
Other clot dissolving medications are now sometimes added to this treatment to prevent long term damage to the veins, thereby helping to preventing chronic venous insufficiency. [podiatrynetwork.com]
Prevention There is nothing certain rule for preventing the superficial thrmbophlebitis, but certain measures can help to prevent the event, such as Avoid prolongs sitting or lie down position. [healthsurgical.com]
