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

## TL;DR

This paper reports a case of Müller-Weiss syndrome, a rare condition causing midfoot pain due to navicular bone damage.

## Contribution

The study adds a new clinical case to the limited literature on Müller-Weiss syndrome and confirms conservative treatment effectiveness.

## Key findings

- A 60-year-old woman presented with chronic midfoot pain consistent with Müller-Weiss syndrome.
- Imaging confirmed navicular bone changes typical of the syndrome.
- Conservative treatment led to favorable clinical outcomes.

## 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 .
