Abstract
The purpose of this series is to describe sonographic findings in 3 patients with plantar vein thrombosis. Three patients had sudden pain and swelling at the plantar side of the affected foot. Sonography of the plantar foot was performed with a broadband linear array working at 5 to 12 MHz. Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging was performed in 1 patient. Sonography showed enlarged incompressible plantar veins in all 3 cases. Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed venous thrombosis in 1 case. Pain and swelling at the plantar side of the foot can be caused by plantar vein thrombosis. This type of rare thrombosis can be diagnosed with sonography.
