ABSTRACT


Müller–Weiss disease is rare entity which is presumably post-traumatic osteonecrosis of the tarsal navicular bone in adults. In this article, we describ a radiographic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of the disease in a 56-year-old female patient with bilateral tarsal pain, without any history of associated trauma. Physical examination revealed tenderness of mid-tarsal joint of each foot. Conservative treatment including non-weight bearing ambulation slightly improved the patient’s symptom. But an option of surgical treatment such as navicular fixation remains to be considered.

Keywords: Foot, Magnetic resonance imaging, Müller–Weiss disease, Navicular
