Limp and lower limb pain are a frequent cause of consultation in paediatrics. Among the differential diagnoses we must include osteochondrosis, a self-limiting disorder that arises due to avascular necrosis of the ossification centres, in which radiology is the key to diagnosis. The case submitted illustrates the imaging findings of osteonecrosis of tarsal navicular, medial and intermediate cuneiform in a child.

Keywords : Osteochondrosis; Avascular necrosis; Osteonecrosis of tarsal navicular; Cuneiforms; Köhlers disease; Imaging.
