Flegmasia cerúlea dolens and venous gangrena associated with infection by SARS-CoV-2: case report and literature review. Angiología [online]. 2021, vol.73, n.1, pp.37-40.  Epub 12-Abr-2021.

Cerulean phlegmasy dolens (CDF) and venous gangrene are the most serious manifestations of acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT). We present the case of a 64-year-old woman who was admitted to the emergency service for pain in the left lower limb and localized edema in the foot with a diagnosis of venous gangrene after the corresponding clinical, laboratory and imaging analysis. Given the torpid evolution, fasciotomies were performed with evident improvement in the picture. When filing the cause of this event, it is attributed to the infection by SARS-CoV-2 as the trigger for this venous gangrene.

Palabras clave : Dolens phlegmasia; Deep vein thrombosis; COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2.
