Bilateral non-traumatic multiple calf muscle hernias in a young adult: a rare case report

We reviewed a large number of literatures and found that few of them reported the relationship between muscle hernia and blood vessels. Most of the muscle hernias in this patient had arteries and veins passing through them, which may be the cause of the weak fascia. In addition, he has been running for a long time and is susceptible to chronic fascial syndrome. His muscle fibers have become larger and he has repeatedly directly damaged the fascia. These combined factors may have led to the formation of multiple muscle hernias in both lower limbs. The formation of multiple muscle hernias in the patient's calves may be related to vascular perforation and excessive exercise. The patient was advised to wear elastic stockings and reduce exercise. During follow-up, no obvious changes were found in his muscle hernias. It is hoped that clinicians can have a better understanding of the diagnosis and treatment of muscle hernias through this case.
