Varicose veins of leg present various symptoms, but it is considered there are few cases of hemorrhagic shock due to bleeding. However we experienced a case of bleeding from varicose veins with hemorrhagic shock although it was diagnosed at another hospital. Surgical treatments such as vein removal, high-level ligation and intravascular cauterization are performed as curative treatments. However, because it is a benign disease, appropriate treatment is not performed even though it is diagnosed. Some factors can make varicose vein rupture fatal, so it needs proper patient education and treatment. Anticoagulant are risk of death for patient with varicose vein, but varicose veins of leg can be treated while taking anticoagulant.
