Name of the Patient : Abc Xyzinh Manglmn / M / 45 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzhah.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Right Ankle & Foot.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

Twisted right ankle 2 1/2 months back with pain since then.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I. of the right ankle and foot was performed using the following parameters :

4 mm thick T1 Weighted and T2 Weighted (with fat saturation) axial images.

4 mm thick T1 Weighted and STIR coronal images.

4 mm thick T1 Weighted and GRASS sagittal images.

OBSERVATION :

There are ill-defined, hypointense areas replacing the normal marrow on the T1 Weighted images in the talor dome. These are seen to turn hyperintense on the T2 Weighted, STIR and the Gradient images. No cortical erosion is seen. Fluid is noted anterior to the talus. The ankle mortice per se is unremarkable.

The rest of the visualized bones show normal configuration and signal intensity. No obvious bone destruction or erosion is evident.

The visualized tendons and ligament show normal signal intensity. The visualized soft tissues are unremarkable.

IMPRESSION :

The MRI features are suggestive of altered signal within the talus and is most probably due to an infective process like tuberculosis.

The possibility of a post-traumatic etiology is less likely.
