Deep venous thrombophlebitis associated with lithium toxicity.
The development of deep venous thrombophlebitis in a lithium-intoxicated patient is described. The sedation, lassitude, and decreased activity of the toxic state are proposed as risk factors for the development of hemostasis and thrombophlebitis. The need for greater awareness of this possible complication in patients who are lithium toxic is advanced.
