Abstract
- Trauma is one of the causes of lymphedema. However, we usually do not consider it as a cause of the lymphedema, thus, we often fail to take care of the patients properly. We report a patient with post traumatic lymphedema and the result of complex decongestive therapy, and reviewed the clinical, lymphoscintigraphic findings and treatment.
