Abstract
Lumbar epidural varicose veins (LEVs) present a challenging clinical scenario with limited literature. This series addresses the scarcity of comprehensive understanding, emphasizing the need for nuanced exploration. Varied prevalence estimates and clinical oversights underscore the urgency for a standardized approach to surgical interventions. We present three diverse clinical cases: (1) segmental varicose veins causing radicular pain, (2) local varicosities leading to lower paraparesis, and (3) widespread varicose veins with prolonged symptoms. Surgical tactics involved targeted coagulation, crossing of veins, and preservation of collateral blood flow. Advanced imaging techniques guided interventions. Tailoring interventions based on varicose vein subtype, preserving collateral flow, and adopting a staged postoperative approach contribute to successful outcomes. This series provides valuable insights into LEV management, emphasizing the significance of advanced imaging in diagnosis and surgical planning.
