Case #11 -
A 48 year old woman presented with edema of the left lower leg

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
1.) What points in this history support the diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency?

The mild obesity, the distribution of the edema in the leg, the discoloration, the lack of severe pain, and the location of the ulcer all suggest venous stasis and chronic venous insufficiency.
