ABSTRACT

Fascial defects with muscular herniation are an uncommon, treatable cause of calf pain. Differential diagnosis includes deep vein thrombosis, compartment syndrome, soleus strain/tear, and muscle or subcutaneous tumour. In this case, sonography was more sensitive for diagnosis than magnetic resonance imaging.
