Peripheral vascular abnormalities are abnormalities that affect the arteries, veins and lymphatics of the limb.

Peripheral vascular abnormalities can be arterial (occlusive or functional), venous, arteriovenous (such as arteriovenous fistula), or lymphatic. Occlusive arterial disorders include peripheral vascular occlusion and thromboocclusive arteritis. Functional blood vessels The abnormality can be vasospasm (Raynaud's disease, cyanosis of the hands and feet) or vasodilation (erythema extremity pain); local lesions that may be secondary to blood vessels, or dysregulation of sympathetic nerve activity; or may be accompanied by organic vascular lesions. Conditions include venous thrombosis and varicose veins, mixed arteriovenous abnormalities include arteriovenous fistulas, and lymphatic abnormalities include lymphedema and lipoedema.
