SEVER'S DISEASE INCIDENTALLY DIAGNOSED BY MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING IN A PATIENT WITH ANKLE SPRAIN: CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF IMAGING FINDINGS

Abstract

Sever's Disease is a self-limiting apophysitis of the calcaneus, common in physically active children and adolescents. This article presents the case of an 11-year-old female patient who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for an ankle sprain, in which the findings were compatible with Sever's disease. We discuss the typical MRI findings and their relevance in the differential diagnosis of pain in the infant hindfoot.
