Thrombophlebitis is a condition where inflammation causes a
blood clot to form in a vein. It usually occurs in veins
near the surface of the body, usually in the leg, pelvis, or
arm. Often it develops in varicose veins. Varicose veins
are veins close to the surface that are swollen, twisted, or
stretched.
