[Pseudo-thrombophlebitic syndrome of the leg caused by cyst in the inner popliteal hamstrings. A case report].
The Authors present a clinical case of pseudo-thrombophlebitic syndrome caused by a cyst of the inner popliteal hamstrings. Pointing out anatomic characteristics of the area involved together with the physiopathology and etiology of the formation that fill the space of the inner popliteal hamstrings, in agreement with the observations reported in literature, and intervene in determining a great number of venous blockage observed in the leg. In conclusion, they observe how a correct clinical-anamnestic approach is important in the diagnosis and consequent prompt and aimed therapy, and how this approach should use the modern instruments available today for a definite diagnosis in the presence of a syndrome of venous stasis of the lower limbs.
