Cine loops 1 and 2: ultrasound transducer transverse/longitudinal anteromedial thigh over erythema visualized on physical exam
- loss of superficial (dermis, subcutaneous fat) architectural organization with diffusely increased thickness, hazy increase in echogenicity
- musculature obscured by overlying irregularly dispersed hyperechoic foci with indistinct posterior acoustic shadowing most consistent with fascial gas/air
- intermittent visualization of heterogeneous, primarily hypoechoic collections in the far-field suggestive of fluid collections adjacent to the deep fascia
Cine loop 3: unaffected contralateral extremity
