ABSTRACT

Introducción. La trombosis venosa profunda (TVP) es una enfermedad frecuente con manifestaciones clínicas poco sensibles y específicas. Su diagnóstico ha de basarse siempre en una prueba de imagen. Los procesos que pueden simular una TVP son muchos. Objetivo. Conocer el número de pacientes que ingresa en el hospital por sospecha clínica de TVP que posteriormente no se confirma, así como los diagnósticos finales de estos pacientes, y comparar las características con las de una población similar de pacientes con TVP confirmada por ecografía. Pacientes y métodos. Estudio prospectivo de los pacientes ingresados por sospecha de TVP durante dos años. En todos los casos se realizó una ecografía Doppler que excluyó el diagnóstico de TVP. Se recogieron los datos basales, los datos clínicos, los factores de riesgo para TVP, la comorbilidad y los datos analíticos. Paralelamente se obtuvieron datos similares de pacientes con TVP confirmada. Se calcularon las odds ratio y los intervalos de confianza al 95%. Resultados. Se recogieron un total de 43 pacientes con TVP no confirmada, cuyos diagnósticos finales fueron: celulitis, 9 (20,9%); insuficiencia venosa, 8 (18,6%); hematoma muscular, 7 (16,3%); sin diagnóstico, 4 (9,3%); quiste de Baker, 3 (6,9%); síndrome postrombótico, 3 (6,9%); tromboflebitis superficial, 3 (6,9%); y otros diagnósticos, 5 (11,6%). Conclusiones. La celulitis y la patología venosa crónica son los procesos que más frecuentemente simulan una TVP. Las características de los pacientes con falsa TVP son esencialmente las mismas que las de los pacientes con TVP confirmada


INTRODUCTION. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common disease with clinical manifestations that are not very sensitive or specific. Its diagnosis must always be based on imaging tests. There are many processes that can mimic DVT. AIMS. To determine the number of patients admitted to hospital due to clinical suspicion of DVT that was later unconfirmed, as well as the final diagnosis for these patients, and to compare the characteristics with those of a similar population of patients with DVT that had been confirmed by ultrasound studies. PATIENTS AND METHODS. We conducted a prospective study of the patients admitted to hospital owing to suspected DVT over a two-year period. In all cases a Doppler ultrasound study was carried out that excluded a diagnosis of DVT. Baseline data, clinical data, risk factors for DVT, comorbidity and analytical data were collected. Likewise, similar data were obtained for patients with confirmed diagnoses of DVT. The 95% confidence intervals and odds ratios were calculated. RESULTS. In all, 43 patients with non-confirmed DVT were found; their final diagnoses were as follows: cellulitis, 9 (20.9%); venous insufficiency, 8 (18.6%); muscular haematoma, 7 (16.3%); undiagnosed, 4 (9.3%); Baker’s cyst, 3 (6.9%); post-thrombotic syndrome, 3 (6.9%); superficial thrombophlebitis, 3 (6.9%); and other diagnoses, 5 (11.6%). CONCLUSIONS. Cellulitis and chronic venous disease are the processes that most frequently mimic DVT. The characteristics of patients with false DVT are essentially the same as those of patients with a confirmed diagnosis of DVT
