Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) has been associated with high morbidity and mortality risk. It could also affect the quality of life significantly. Recurrent venous thrombosis, especially in a patient of younger age, could easily be associated with hereditary thrombophilia. Additionally, there is data that thrombophilia could be associated with chronic venous disease. When chronic venous insufficiency is present and a DVT occurs, this could increase the complexity of proper management. Therefore, this report aims to describe a case of a young woman with both hereditary thrombophilia and chronic venous insufficiency of the lower extremities, complicated with recurrent DVT. The aim is also to discuss on proper management of such complex cases.
