So let's go to the second case or the case number six.
0:04
And this is a very nice case
0:07
that is a differential diagnosis of, uh, muscle tear,
0:12
muscle injury.
0:14
And I'm gonna show here in a moment.
0:16
And this case is a case of, uh, uh,
0:22
thrombus, uh, deep, uh, vein thrombosis, right?
0:25
That's the history, 20-year-old male
0:28
with posterior knee pain.
0:31
So this first image that I'm gonna show you right here,
0:36
we can see a defect filling defect
0:40
inside this, uh, inside the veins
0:43
of the medial gastro namal muscle.
0:45
Look here. Uh, we can see this, uh,
0:48
filling defect right here.
0:50
If we see this, uh, region at the axial plane.
0:54
We can see here, here is the popal artery.
0:58
Here is the popal vein,
1:00
and we can see this vessel, uh,
1:03
coming out from the popal vein,
1:06
and they trifurcate right here.
1:10
And we can see this filling defect inside this veins
1:15
at the medial gastros.
1:19
And these are the findings of the, uh,
1:21
deep venal s thrombosis, right?
1:23
A feeling defect, uh, thickening of the wall of the vessels
1:28
and edema around the vessels and edema around the muscles
1:32
and inside the muscles,
1:34
and sometimes edema at the, uh, at the soft tissue
1:39
around the area of the
1:42
deep venous thrombosis right here.
1:44
So let me show you the Corona plane
1:47
because the Corona plane is beautiful to see this case.
1:50
Look here, look that.
1:52
And so you can see the vessel coming out, coming off the
1:57
popal vein,
1:59
and we can see the feeling the defect inside the vessel
2:04
and the bifurcation,
2:05
and later the trifurcation of the, one of the vessels.
2:09
So this is a classic finding
2:11
and this is a differential diagnosis of, uh, muscle injury
2:15
of, uh, popal cyst, uh, ruptured.
2:19
So we have to keep that in mind.
2:21
And also the musculoskeletal ultrasound, uh,
2:25
with Doppler can, uh, help a lot to do this diagnosis.
