Suprapubic Varicose Veins Idiopathic: A Rare Presentation of Perineal Pelvic Retrograde Flow.

Varicose pubic collateral veins are a rare phenomenon secondary to obstruction of the common femoral vein, left external iliac, or common iliac vein. This article aims to describe the clinical case of a 75-year-old female patient who presented with varicose collateral suprapubic veins. A 75-year-old female patient from a rural area in Colombia presented to the emergency department complaining of a 4-day history of edema, erythema, and pain in the suprapubic region. The patient presented with large varicose veins in the suprapubic region with erythema, warmth, and pain on palpation. A computer tomography scan of the abdomen and pelvis showed suprapubic varicose veins and contrasted in venous phase ruled out iliac vein obstruction. To rule out paraneoplastic syndrome, tumor markers, a transvaginal ultrasound, esophagogastroduodenoscopy and rectosigmoidoscopy were obtained and found to be negative. Anticoagulation with warfarin 5 mg daily and bridge therapy with enoxaparin was initiated. We presented the case of a patient with varicose collateral suprapubic veins of unknown origin, who received anticoagulation with warfarin and analgesic management with subsequent resolution of symptoms.
