Overview
Varicose veins can at times present with nothing but lower limb edema. Magnetic Resonance Venography(MRV) is the most sensitive and specific imaging study that can be used to detect deep as well as superficial venous pathologies that might not be clinically apparent otherwise [1]. It is useful in clarifying situations where clinical picture of edema and leg pain might falsely suggest venous insufficiency[2].
Key MRI findings in Varicose veins
- Edema of lower limb
- Incompetent venous valves
- Dilated/ deformed affected veins
