After DVT, Post thrombotic syndrome will develop in 20% to 50% of patient and post thrombotic syndrome complication are stasis ulcer, skin changes and varicose vein of leg commonly. Post DVT of major vessel of leg, resulting varicosity of the veins of abdominal wall which is a rare complication. Large, prominent normal veins are seen often in the abdominal wal1, particularity in thin individual is and in conjunction with prominent veins elsewhere in the body.
