Abstract

An 18-year-old female was referred to the MRI unit due to the pain in the left coxofemoral region with slightly increased urge to urinate which she developed after falling from a train stairs on iced ground about 2 years before the symptom onset. After the fall, bone X-ray was not performed, and, for a short period of time after the fall, she was treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
