Abstract
The phlebographic findings in nine patients with primary varicose veins on the lateral aspect of the thigh are described. These were shown by varicography to connect primarily with the deep femoral vein via communicating veins: the symptoms were either cosmetic or mild aching in the thigh. Surgical treatment, if indicated, consists of subfascial ligation or sclerosis of the varices, or flush ligation of the incompetent communicating veins at their connections with the deep femoral vein.
