Acute Deep Vein Thrombosis Diagnosed in Family Medicine Polyclinic: Case Report

Abstract

It is difficult to diagnose and treat acute deep vein thrombosis. Therefore, mistakes can often be made. Only clinical diagnosis is often unreliable and the majority of deep vein thrombosis occurring in hospital is asymptomatic. In case of clinical suspicion of deep vein thrombosis, D-dimer test and / or imaging should be performed. If urgent diagnosis is not possible, anticoagulation therapy should be initiated immediately. In our manuscript, we presented a case who was admitted to our family medicine outpatient clinic with the complaint of leg pain and was initiated treatment with the diagnosis of acute deep vein thrombosis.
