Deep vein thrombosis of the lower limb is a serious process that acute setting can lead to pulmonary embolism. Clinical assessment of symptomatic DVT is of low specificity since many other conditions show similar symptoms. That’s why definitive diagnosis of DVT requires objective testing. Ascending venography was accepted as the gold standard for diagnosis of DVT for about half of century. However, color-coded Doppler became recently the technique of choice as its simple, accurate and noninvasive technique. This study included 50 patients with chronic iliofemoral D. V. T. They were 27 male and 23 female patients with their ages ranged from 20-68 years old with the mean age of 44 years old. All patients subjected to history taking, general examination, local examination, laboratory investigations and radiological study including color-coded Doppler sonographv and ascending venography. AJI the data of the 50 patients were tabulated and analyzed so as to demonstrate the findings of color Doppler and venography and to compare between them. The history of deep vein thrombosis in the examined patients was ranging from 6 months to 3.8 years. The main complaints of the patients were lower limb pain (96%) and swelling (84%). However
