Corona phlebectatica is a cutaneous sign of chronic venous insufficiency, characterized by abnormally dilated veins around the ankle.{{cite journal|last=Uhl|first=JF|author2=Cornu-Thenard, A |author3=Satger, B |author4= Carpentier, PH |title=Clinical analysis of the corona phlebectatica.|journal=Journal of Vascular Surgery|date=Jan 2012|volume=55|issue=1|pages=150–3|doi=10.1016/j.jvs.2011.04.070|pmid=21975063|url=http://www.jvascsurg.org/article/S0741-5214(11)01605-3/fulltext|doi-access=free}} It is characterised by the presence of abnormally visible cutaneous blood vessels at the ankle with (a) venous cups, (b) blue and red telangiectasis, and (c) capillary stasis spots. It was proposed that the presence of corona phlebectatica be included in current clinical classifications of chronic venous disorders.{{cite journal|last=Rabe|first=E|author2=Pannier, F|title=Clinical, aetiological, anatomical and pathological classification (CEAP): gold standard and limits.|journal=Phlebology|date=Mar 2012|volume=27 Suppl 1|pages=114–8|pmid=22312077|doi=10.1258/phleb.2012.012S19|s2cid=207206037}}
