Abstract

Sinus Tarsi Syndrome is a cause of chronic ankle instability and pain. MRI of the ankle has been the modality of choice for diagnosing the condition. However, SPECT-CT offers an alternate modality for diagnosing and evaluation of the condition. We present the case of a footballer who was suffering from chronic right leg pain despite receiving physiotherapy. He was being managed as a case of a chronic ankle sprain. Meanwhile, he was referred to the department as radiology for MRI of the ankle could not be performed as the patient felt claustrophobic. The patient subsequently underwent a ^99mTc-MDP Bone scan. He was diagnosed to be suffering from sinus tarsi syndrome as it showed a characteristic pattern noted on ^99mTc-MDP Bone scintigraphy. This case report reveals the potential of SPECT-CT as an alternative in the evaluation of chronic ankle sprain to MRI in segment of cases where MRI is not performed due to various reasons.

跗窦综合征:99mTc-MDP骨SPECT/CT诊断。

跗骨窦综合征是引起慢性踝关节不稳定和疼痛的原因。踝关节核磁共振成像一直是诊断这种疾病的首选方法。然而，SPECT-CT为诊断和评估病情提供了另一种方式。我们提出的情况下，足球运动员是遭受慢性右腿疼痛，尽管接受物理治疗。他被当作慢性踝关节扭伤的病例来处理。与此同时，由于患者感到幽闭恐怖，无法进行踝关节MRI检查，他被转到放射科。患者随后接受了99mTc-MDP骨扫描。在99mTc-MDP骨显像上表现出一种特征性模式，诊断为跗骨窦综合征。本病例报告揭示了SPECT-CT作为慢性踝关节扭伤评估替代MRI的潜力，在部分由于各种原因无法进行MRI检查的病例中。
