Corona Phlebectatica Veins | Causes, Symptoms & Treatments

Venous telangiectasias around the ankle

Introduction

Corona Phlebectatica is a condition characterized by visible veins around the ankles and feet. It is often considered a warning sign of advanced chronic venous insufficiency or severe varicose veins. At Charming Skin Vein Clinics, we offer specialized treatments to address the underlying vein issues contributing to Corona Phlebectatica and help prevent further complications

What Causes Corona Phlebectatica?

Corona Phlebectatica is typically caused by chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) or advanced varicose veins . In these conditions, blood struggles to return to the heart, leading to increased pressure in the veins of the lower legs. As the pressure builds, small veins around the ankles and feet become enlarged and more visible.

Common causes include:

Chronic Venous Insufficiency

The most common cause, where the valves in the veins are weak or damaged, causing blood to pool in the legs.

Symptoms of Corona Phlebectatica

Corona Phlebectatica is characterized by a visible network of veins around the ankles, often accompanied by other symptoms of venous insufficiency. These symptoms include

Visible Blue or Purple Veins

Small, dilated veins that are visible around the ankle and foot area.

Swelling in the Ankles and Feet

Often worsens after prolonged standing or sitting.

Heaviness or Tiredness in the Legs

Particularly after long periods of activity.

Skin Discoloration or Thickening

In more advanced cases, the skin around the ankles may become discolored or hardened due to poor circulation.

These symptoms are usually a sign of more serious venous disease and should be addressed promptly to prevent further complications, such as venous ulcers.

Why Treat Corona Phlebectatica?

Corona Phlebectatica is not just a cosmetic issue — it indicates underlying venous insufficiency that, if left untreated, can lead to more severe problems, including leg ulcers, skin infections, and chronic pain. According to the American Vein & Lymphatic Society, early treatment of venous conditions can prevent the progression of the disease and avoid long – term complications.
