The author describes two cases of ambulatory iliac phlebitis occurring in young women, one pregnant, the other taking synthetic oestrogen-progestogen drugs. Anti-coagulants were contraindicated because of the pregnancy in the first case, and because of practical obstacles to their correct use in the second. In consequence both cases were treated as outpatients by physical compression (Nard's method), without any anticoagulant medication : the results were striking and lasting.
