Abstract:

Calf muscle tears are relatively common. They can be identified well as incidental findings using duplex sonography when performing a lower extremity venous Doppler exam.

As the sonographer was documenting the popliteal fossa, a complex fluid-filled structure within the left gastrocnemius muscle was identified. The diagnosis was reported as a gastrocnemius muscle tear. This case demonstrates a fairly common incidental finding, gastrocnemius muscle tear, when performing a venous Doppler exam
