Baker's cyst and venous thrombosis

N A Patrone, C M Ramsdell

    Southern Medical Journal
    |June 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    Superficial thrombophlebitis can occur even with adequate anticoagulation, sometimes masking as pseudothrombophlebitis due to conditions like Baker's cyst. Prompt diagnosis and treatment, such as with intra-articular steroids, are crucial for effective management.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Medicine
    • Rheumatology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Deep venous thrombophlebitis (DVT) management typically involves anticoagulation.
    • Superficial thrombophlebitis (ST) can occur concurrently or independently.
    • Baker's cysts are known to cause lower extremity symptoms that can mimic other conditions.

    Observation:

    • A patient with established deep venous thrombophlebitis developed superficial thrombophlebitis despite adequate anticoagulation.
    • A large Baker's cyst was identified as a potential contributing factor.
    • The patient experienced symptom relief following intra-articular steroid injection.

    Findings:

    • Thrombophlebitis can coexist with conditions mimicking thrombophlebitis (pseudothrombophlebitis).
    • Baker's cyst can present with symptoms similar to superficial thrombophlebitis.
    • Intra-articular steroids demonstrated efficacy in managing this specific presentation.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for pseudothrombophlebitis in patients with thrombophlebitis.
    • Diagnostic evaluation should include assessment for underlying causes like Baker's cyst.
    • Therapeutic strategies may need to be tailored, considering the coexistence of actual thrombophlebitis and pseudothrombophlebitis.
