Venous disease can manifest itself in unusual ways; three uncommon venous disease states are described, together with discussions of their treatment. The cases include an iliac compression syndrome, incipient venous gangrene of an upper limb associated with polycythemia and congestive cardiac failure, and venous edema of a lower limb as a sequel to previous radical pelvic surgery.
