| Abstract |
We report the case of a 29-year-old Japanese
man with transient osteoporosis of the left hip (TOH) following contralateral
TOH, paying special attention to the initial changes on MRI. MR images
showed no abnormal findings 6 weeks before the clinical manifestation,
but the images just after the onset depicted a linear abnormality
equivalent to a subchondral insufficiency fracture. Both radiological
findings and clinical symptoms disappeared completely without any
surgical intervention within 10 months.
