“…38 Clinical manifestations of venous CAD are severe limb swelling due to the blood flow obstruction and pain due to the stimulation of vessel adventitial nerves. 32,34 Venous CAD is frequently misdiagnosed because the patients primarily present with DVT. 14,20,29,33 This is an unusual case because no DVT occurred so that we can identify the cyst solely by imaging methods.…”

“…Cystic adventitial disease (CAD) can affect both arteries and veins but is more common in arteries. Since the first description of venous CAD in tributaries of the saphenous vein in 1972, there are only 43 reported cases of venous CAD worldwide, 1–36 make it an extremely rare disease. Patients with venous CAD present with limb swelling or very rarely deep vein thrombosis (DVT).…”

Objectives Cystic adventitial disease is an extremely rare vascular disorder and is often misdiagnosed. In order to improve the knowledge and treatment of this disease, a case of venous cystic adventitial disease was reported. Methods The whole processes about the diagnosis and treatment of one patient with venous cystic adventitial disease was retrospectively studied. Results This case of venous cystic adventitial disease was diagnosed accurately by contrast-enhanced computed tomography and treated successfully by surgical resection. No complications were detected after one-year post-operative follow-up. Conclusions Surgical resection is a safe and effective method for the treatment of venous CAD.

Role of imaging in deep vein thrombosis: a review article

Background and Aim: Venous Thrombo Embolism (VTE) refers to the formation of clots in blood vessels. The current study aimed to investigate deep vein thrombosis (DVT) by imaging modalities. Materials and Methods: In this review study, national databases, including Magiran, SID, IranMedex, as well as international ones, namely databases including PubMed, Google scholar, Scopus, and ISI, were searched for related books and articles. The keywords included thrombosis, deep vein thrombosis, imaging, and thrombosis detection. Results: In patients with suspected primary or recurrent deep vein thrombosis, CT venography (CTV) and Magnetic Resonance Venography (MRV) are rarely used on suspicion of iliac vein thrombosis or inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis in ultrasound. These examinations have relatively poor reliability, cause adverse side effects of radiation and contrast materials, and are undoubtedly more costly. Conclusion:As evidenced by the obtained results, different methods are available for the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis. Moreover, it was revealed that ultrasound imaging is the most reasonable method for initial examination due to its sensitivity, specificity, costs, and adverse effects.
