a, b and c - 6 month-old boy a) Contrast-enhanced fat-suppressed spin-echo T1- weighted coronal image shows hypoperfusion of the left femoral epiphysis. b) X Ray study performed one month later showed a small lytic area on the metaphyseal side of the physis (white arrow) with a sclerotic halo (black arrows): the epiphyseal nucleus was also smaller on the pathological side (left). c) Contrast-enhanced fat-suppressed spin-echo T1-weighted coronal sequences performed one month later showing metaphyseal bone lesion on the left side. The left femoral nucleus showed hypointensity and was smaller in comparison to the right side
