Four new cases of isolated foot vein thrombosis: Is the first metatarsal interspace perforator responsible?
1Vascular Medicine, 30 Place Louis Jouvet, 38100 Grenoble, France.
Abstract:
Isolated foot vein thrombosis is an infrequently reported condition, the cause of which is still questioned. Four new cases are detailed, covering different physio-pathological situations ranging from plantar vein to Lejars' sole thrombosis. They are compared to the literature. The common vein altered in most of the cases is the first metatarsal interspace perforator, which is hypothesized as the area of the onset of many cases of foot vein thrombosis. Diagnostic workup could reveal neoplasia, inflammatory diseases, or coagulation abnormality. There is no consensus regarding plantar vein thrombosis treatment, and conservative therapy, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and anticoagulant therapy have been reported.
