Abstract

Methodology: This study was carried out in Radiology Department of Ain Shams University Hospitals. 20 patients with sonographically proven primary varicose veins for which they had foam sclerotherapy injection. Result: The 20 patients enrolled in this study were ranging from 24 to 52 years with mean age of 36.4 years. Conclusion: Foam Slcerotherapy is effective & safe in treatment of primary varicose veins.
