Introduction: Venous thromboembolic disease is a common condition. Many risk factors can contribute to its occurrence. The aim of this study is to describe the risk factors of venous thromboembolic diseases and the results of the etiological assessment. Methodology: This was a retrospective and descriptive study that took place in the internal medicine department of the Sylvanus Olympio University in Lomé, from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2017. It included all patients of both sexes aged 18 and over hospitalized for deep vein thrombosis regardless of the site and / or documented pulmonary embolism. Results: We had collected 51 cases of venous thromboembolic disease. The mean age of the patients was 52.9 ± 17.1 years with a male predominance (52.9%). Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the lower limbs was the most frequent location (68.5%). In our study, 59.3% of patients presented at least one risk factor before any etiological assessment. No risk factor was found in nine patients (17.8%). The main risk factors encountered were: obesity (17.6%), HIV infection (13.7%), diabetes (11.8%), neoplasias (7.8%), and prolonged bed rest (7.8%). An etiology was found in 13.7% of cases, including 3 cases of thrombophilia and 4 cases of neoplasia. Conclusion: Obesity and HIV infection are the most common risk factors for venous thromboembolic diseases. Neoplasias are the most common etiologies after etiological investigation.
