Abstract

Introduction: Diagnosing painful osteoarticular or musculoskeletal conditions in children and teenagers is often a challenge. Ankle pain is a frequent complaint but the Os trigonum syndrome is rarely considered. Case report: We report the case of an 18 year-old boy who complained of frequent ankle pain. Physical examination and x-ray examination were inconclusive, without remarkable changes. However, the persistence of complaints and the history of an injury led to CT scanning, which revealed an Os trigonum. Comment: This article presents the differential diagnosis of posterior ankle pain and focuses on the Os trigonum Syndrome
