Overview

Differentiating varicose veins from other diseases

Varicose veins maybe differentiated from other diseases that cause swelling in the lower limb. The differentials include the following:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]

Diseases History and Symptoms Physical Examination Imaging
Swelling Pain Nausea Vomiting Age/Gender Location of swelling Tenderness Pulsatile mass Ultrasonography
Saphenous vein varicosity + +/- - -
  • Female
 Sephanofemoral junction (inferolateral to the pubic tubercle) - - Duplex ultrasound determines the pattern of venous incompetence and reflux.
Femoral hernia + +/- +/- +/-
  • Female
  • > 45yrs
 Below the inguinal ligament +/-† - Slightly echogenic, long strip shaped omentum in the hernia sac. In cases of incarceration, expansion of a fluid filled bowel, intestinal fluid reflux and thickening and edema of intestinal wall.
Inguinal hernia + + +/- +/-
  • Male
  • > 40yrs
 Above the inguinal ligament +/-† - Abnormal ballooning of the anteroposterior diameter of the inguinal canal
Femoral artery aneurysm + - - -
  • Male
  • > 60 yrs
 Usually below the inguinal ligament - + Duplex ultrasound used to differentiate between femoral artery aneurysm and femoral hernia
Lymphadenopathy + +/- - -
  • Male and female
 Femoral canal (medial to femoral vessels) - - Internal echo in cases of lymphadenopathy
Lipoma + +/- - -
  • Male and female
  • 40-60 yrs
 Occurs any where throughout the body +/- - Echogenic solid mass, often misinterpreted as a fat containing hernia.

†In cases of incarceration or strangulation, tenderness can be present.
