Abstract

Accessory ossicles are a common incidental finding on imaging of the feet. Os intermetatarseum is one such ossicle. These mostly remain asymptomatic; however, pain syndromes associated with accessory ossicles are a known entity and the diagnosis of painful os syndrome should be considered in undifferentiated foot pain. Whilst use of imaging in the diagnosis of painful os syndromes of the foot is well substantiated, there is little available literature on the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the diagnosis of painful os intermetatarseum. We report a case of painful os intermetatarseum with MRI findings that have not previously been described
