Varices. [L.]
[1913 Webster]
1. (Med.) A uneven, permanent dilatation of a vein.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Varices are owing to local retardation of the venous
circulation, and in some cases to relaxation of the
parietes of the veins. They are very common in the
superficial veins of the lower limbs. --Dunglison.
[1913 Webster]
