A rare intraosseous venous anomaly in the fibula caused ankle pain and deep venous thrombosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers a less invasive diagnostic approach compared to traditional venography.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Malformations
  • Musculoskeletal Radiology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Intraosseous venous anomalies are rare vascular malformations within bone.
  • Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) can present with symptoms mimicking other lower extremity pathologies.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate patient management and treatment.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with unilateral ankle pain and swelling, diagnosed with deep venous thrombosis.
  • Surgical exploration confirmed an intraosseous venous anomaly of the fibula as the underlying cause.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including gadolinium-enhanced MR angiography, was utilized for diagnosis.

Findings:

  • MRI successfully diagnosed the intraosseous venous anomaly of the fibula.

  • Gadolinium-enhanced MR angiography demonstrated venous patency and characterized the anomaly.
  • MRI provided a less invasive diagnostic alternative to conventional venography.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights MRI as a valuable tool for diagnosing intraosseous venous anomalies.
    • The findings suggest MRI can effectively assess venous patency in these rare lesions.
    • Less invasive imaging modalities like MRI can improve diagnostic efficiency and patient comfort.
