Superficial venous thrombosis is a common disease, not always benign. New knowledge, appeared in the last decade, reinforces even more if this entity is classically considered as a banal pathology of easy diagnosis and simple treatment, every day presents more evidence of being everything else, that is to say a potentially serious pathology (to power be associated with DVT and pulmonary embolisms-EP or be a marker of other pathological situations), which requires almost systematically complementary diagnostic examinations (echo-Doppler, thrombophilia studies, etc.), to establish a specific treatment, in whose context a certain anticoagulant drug may be indicated.

Keywords : Superficial venous thrombosis; Superficial thrombophlebitis; Saphenous vein thrombosis; Thrombophlebitis; Low molecular weight heparins; Antithrombotic.
