Deep vein thrombosis: A rare complication in oral and maxillofacial surgery: A review of two cases.
[oral submucous fibrosis]
Deep
vein
thrombosis
(
DVT
)
is
caused
by
obstruction
of
blood
flow
of
deep
veins
in
upper
and
lower
limb
.
One
of
the
precipitating
factors
for
DVT
is
surgery
under
general
anesthesia
exceeding
30
min
.
However
,
there
are
very
few
reports
of
DVT
associated
with
surgery
of
oral
and
maxillofacial
region
.
In
this
paper
we
report
two
cases
of
DVT
involving
left
ilio-femoropopliteal
deep
vein
in
one
patient
treated
for
fractured
left
angle
of
mandible
and
left
peroneal
vein
in
the
other
patient
treated
for
oral
sub
mucous
fibrosis
.
Clinical
and
color
Doppler
examination
were
performed
to
diagnose
the
condition
and
were
referred
to
vascular
surgical
unit
of
higher
institute
for
further
management
.
These
cases
illustrates
any
surgery
of
maxillofacial
region
is
not
free
from
risk
of
DVT
,
which
can
cause
fatal
pulmonary
thromboembolism
.
