Summary

Chronic venous disease (CVD) are common vascular pathology characterized by a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations occurring with symptoms and/or signs that vary in type and severity. The pathophysiological mechanisms of CVD start from the development of venous hypertension, leading to endothelial dysfunction and venous wall dilatation. Lipedema is subcutaneous adipose tissue disorder characterized by enlargement of both lower extremities. Previous studies showed that foot deformities such as pes planus or cavus are at a high prevalence in CVD patients, and the authors indicated that foot disorders are an important risk factor that negatively affects venous disease. To the best of our knowledge, there is only one study investigating plantar arch abnormalities in lipedema patients based on clinical observation. Therefore, the study aimed to investigate plantar foot distribution and foot deformity in patients with CVD and lipedema.
