[Incompetence of the external saphenous vein with progressive repercussions on the internal saphenous vein. Cure by stripping of the external saphenous vein alone].
Voluminous dilatation of the arch of the external saphenous, developing after effort. Progressive dilatation of the whole of the external saphenous and the veins communicating with the internal saphenous, followed by progressive dilatation of the internal saphenous, from the malleolus up to the knee. After ligation of the arch and stripping of the external saphenous, the internal saphenous reverted spontaneously to its normal size in a few months.
