"The first description of [ phlegmasia cerulea dolens ] is attributed to Fabricius Hildanus' in the sixteenth century, and the term was first used in 1938 by GrCgoire2 to distinguish this ischaemic form of venous thrombosis from the more common non-ischaemic entity, then called phlegmasia alba dolens". My emphasis. Perhaps this term has been depreciated in the literature? Maybe we should either transition this to a historical article (as in describing it as a historical term) or just redirect it to deep vein thrombosis. The quote is derived from Perkins JM, Magee TR, Galland RB (January 1996). "Phlegmasia caerulea dolens and venous gangrene". The British Journal of Surgery. 83 (1): 19–23. doi:10.1002/bjs.1800830106. PMID 8653352., which I will try to access. Biosthmors (talk) 13:15, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I did find it used/described more recently: Chaochankit W, Akaraborworn O (September 2018). "Phlegmasia Cerulea Dolens with Compartment Syndrome". Annals of Vascular Diseases. 11 (3): 355–357. doi:10.3400/avd.cr.18-00030. PMC 6200621. PMID 30402189. Biosthmors (talk) 13:24, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
