Corona phlebectatica

Corona phlebectatica is a cutaneous sign of chronic venous insufficiency, characterized by abnormally dilated veins around the ankle.[1] It is characterised by the presence of abnormally visible cutaneous blood vessels at the ankle with a) venous cups b) blue and red telangiectases, and c) capillary stasis spots.[1] It was proposed that the presence of corona phlebectatica be included in current clinical classifications of chronic venous disorders.[1][2]
