Müller-Weiss Syndrome: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Müller-Weiss syndrome is a rare condition characterized by osteonecrosis of the navicular bone. We describe the case of a 60-year-old woman presenting with chronic, non-traumatic mechanical pain of the right midfoot. Laboratory investigations, including inflammatory markers, were within normal limits. Weight-bearing radiographs and CT demonstrated changes of the navicular bone consistent with Müller-Weiss syndrome. This diagnosis was considered in the context of persistent mechanical midfoot pain, and the patient was managed conservatively, with favorable clinical evolution during follow-up .

Abstract

Müller-Weiss syndrome is a rare condition characterized by osteonecrosis of the navicular bone. We describe the case of a 60-year-old woman presenting with chronic, non-traumatic mechanical pain of the right midfoot. Laboratory investigations, including inflammatory markers, were within normal limits. Weight-bearing radiographs and CT demonstrated changes of the navicular bone consistent with Müller-Weiss syndrome. This diagnosis was considered in the context of persistent mechanical midfoot pain, and the patient was managed conservatively, with favorable clinical evolution during follow-up .
