postphlebitic syndrome [pōst-flĕ-bit´ik]

a form of chronic venous stasis that follows an episode of phlebitis, owing to incompetent valves or occlusion in the veins. The patient usually experiences edema, lower limb discoloration, and pain. The most serious sequela of this condition is a stasis ulcer; poor circulation to the area makes such a lesion difficult to heal.
