Deep Vein Thrombosis Symptoms and Signs (DVT)

Tumefaction is another potential symptom of the deep vein thrombosis (DVT). When such disorder takes place, the limbs are the areas to be affected. In most cases, such places as the leg or ankle swelling. It was proved, however, that the swelling of this type may occur in other parts of the body which have deep veins (e.g. chest). In up to 48 hours, the swelling may get rather intensive.
