Phlegmasia alba dolens is a painful white edema or "milk leg" condition first described in pregnant and postpartum women caused by a total occlusion of the deep iliofemoral venous system with an open superficial venous system, resulting in edema, pain, and blanching without cyanosis. Phlegmasia cerulea dolens is a more severe condition where both the deep and superficial venous systems are occluded, leading to fluid sequestration, significant edema, agonizing pain, cyanosis, bullae formation, compartment syndrome, and acute ischemia. Both conditions are types of deep vein thrombosis.
