Abstrakt: While the thrombotic risk associated with lower limb venous reflux has been clearly reported in the literature, evidence is lacking on the potentially similar procoagulant effect generated by a venous incompetence in the pelvic region. A recent publication identified an incidental periuterine venous plexus thrombosis in 3% of the women undergoing a gynaecological consultation for whatever reason, suggesting a potentially underestimated condition worthy of further investigation. The present paper analyses the available literature on the topic, providing an insight covering both pathophysiological and clinical aspects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
