Abstract

The MR findings in transient osteoporosis of the knee have been described as showing a diffuse area of decreased signal intensity (relative to normal bone marrow) on T1-weighted images and increased signal intensity on T2-weighted images. We report a case of transient osteoporosis, in which MRI showed a crescentic area of abnormal signal intensity in the posterior portion of the lateral femoral condyle, which was bordered by a rim of low signal intensity, best seen on the T2-weighted images. This abnormality was shown to resolve on follow-up MR scans.
