Phlegmasia cerulea dolens (Greek: inflamed"inflamed blue oedema") is an uncommon complication of deep venous thrombosis which results from extensive thrombotic occlusion of the major and/or collateral veins of an extremity (usually the legs). It is characterised by severe pain, swelling, cyanosis and oedema of the affected limb. There is significant risk of massive pulmonary embolism, even with anticoagulation. Gangrene of the periphery may occur due to increased compartmental pressures resulting from serve venous congestion and oedema.
