Varices


Varices are a para-physiological alteration of the veins, due to a loss in elasticity (especially in older patients) which present as a deterioration of one or more blood vessels, assuming a contorted form and typical bluish or violet colouration. Intraorally, varices are very common under the tongue (sublingual varices), asymptomatic and require no treatment unless subject to trauma.
