[Plantar venous thrombosis and anticardiolipin antibody syndrome. Case report].

We report a case of isolated plantar venous thrombosis in a young female with no recent history of surgery or trauma who complained of spontaneous left talalgia. She was treated with aspirin for a lupus anticoagulant. The diagnosis was established on the basis of color duplex ultrasonography. The patient was given long-term oral anticoagulants in accordance with international recommendations. Veins other than the usually examined regions, such as plantar veins, should be explored in patients with a known thrombophilic condition who present spontaneous talalgia. Presence of an isolated plantar venous thrombus in a patient with no known coagulation abnormality is suggestive of thrombophilic disease.
