Plantar vein thrombosis is an uncommon and under-diagnosed cause of plantar foot pain. It is characterized by the formation of a blood clot (thrombus) within one of the plantar veins. Factors leading to this condition are unclear and multiple potential causes have been proposed. Plantar vein thrombosis presents as non-specific unilateral plantar foot pain, swelling, and a heavy feeling in the affected foot. There is no current diagnostic guideline for this condition however compression ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging appear suitable. Treatments range from rest and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to six months of anticoagulant therapy. Herein, we aim to consolidate the current literature on plantar vein thrombosis to guide clinicians and future researchers.
足底静脉血栓形成是一种不常见且诊断不足的足底疼痛病因。其特征是足底静脉内形成血栓（血栓）。导致这种情况的因素尚不清楚，并且已经提出了多种潜在的原因。足底静脉血栓形成表现为非特异性单侧足底疼痛、肿胀和受累足部沉重感。目前尚无针对这种情况的诊断指南，但压缩超声和磁共振成像似乎适用。治疗方法从休息和非甾体抗炎药到六个月的抗凝治疗不等。在此，我们旨在整合关于足底静脉血栓形成的现有文献，以指导临床医生和未来的研究人员。
