We describe the ultrasound (US) features of venous thrombosis involving the lateral patellar retinaculum (LPR) veins presenting as anterolateral knee pain. Four male patients, aged 16 to 35 years, were referred for lateropatellar pain with focal tenderness. In two cases, physical examination also demonstrated soft tissue swelling at the anterolateral aspect of the knee. In all four cases, US showed subcutaneous fat edema surrounding a thrombosis involving the LPR veins. Magnetic resonance imaging performed before US in one patient revealed only nonspecific subcutaneous fat edema and was therefore unable to make the correct diagnosis of LPR venous thrombosis.
我们描述了表现为膝关节前外侧疼痛的涉及髌外侧支持带（LPR）静脉的静脉血栓形成的超声（US）特征。4名年龄在16至35岁的男性患者因髌外侧疼痛伴局部压痛前来就诊。其中2例患者体格检查还显示膝关节前外侧软组织肿胀。在所有4例患者中，超声均显示LPR静脉血栓形成周围的皮下脂肪水肿。1例患者在超声检查前进行的磁共振成像仅显示非特异性皮下脂肪水肿，因此无法正确诊断LPR静脉血栓形成。
