Full-thickness burn injury Note that absence of intravenous contrast limits evaluation of inflammation and myonecrosis. There is diffuse increased signal on T2 sequences throughout subcutaneous tissues of the forearm. There is abnormal increased signal intramuscularly and intermuscularly within both the flexor and extensor compartments of the forearm which is most evident within the flexor compartment just proximal to the distal radial ulnar joint. The edema becomes confluent along the anterior margin of the flexor compartment.There is skin thickening and irregularity of the volar aspect of the forearm.Within the limits of the exam, there is no focal fluid collection.Bone marrow signal is normal.
Subcutaneous, intermuscular and intramuscular edema of the forearm with no evidence of focal fluid collection within the limits of a nonenhanced exam.
