Pseudothrombophlebitis in neuropathic arthropathy.
The pseudothrombophlebitis syndrome is a complication of large, ruptured, or dissecting popliteal cysts. We report a patient with neuropathic arthropathy of the knee and the pseudothrombophlebitis syndrome secondary to a dissecting popliteal cyst. This represents another form of arthritis associated with this syndrome.
