Migratory Thrombophlebitis

Excerpt

Thrombophlebitis is inflammation of a vein with an associated thrombus. Migratory thrombophlebitis, or thrombophlebitis migrans, is characterized by sequential involvement: one vein segment becomes inflamed, improves, and is followed by inflammation of other segments. See Image. Migratory Thrombophlebitis. Occasionally, several veins in different locations may be involved simultaneously, and both superficial and deep veins may be affected.
