Sublingual varices - what does this mean
Sublingual varices are dilated veins located beneath the tongue that occur when the blood flow in the veins is blocked or slowed down, resulting in increased pressure and stretching of the veins. this can be caused by a variety of conditions, including liver cirrhosis, portal hypertension, and other conditions that cause increased pressure in the portal venous system.
What happens during the disease - sublingual varices
Sublingual varices are caused by a combination of factors, including increased pressure in the portal venous system, a decrease in the normal resistance of the veins in the floor of the mouth, and an underlying venous abnormality. this combination of factors leads to the formation of dilated, tortuous veins in the floor of the mouth, which can become swollen and painful. if left untreated, sublingual varices can lead to further complications such as bleeding and infection.
