53 year old female with pain at the 1-3 metatarsals. Evaluate for stress fracture, bursitis or sesamoiditis. The bone marrow signal intensity is within normal limits without evidence of stress fracture. The sesamoid bones appear normal. There is a subcentimeter collection of near-fluid-signal intensity between the first and second metatarsal heads, which may represent a very mild bursitis, but this is equivocal and we otherwise see no abnormal fluid collections. The remaining visualized soft tissue structures appear normal.
Tiny focus of fluid signal intensity between the first and second metatarsal heads could conceivably represent a very mild bursitis, but we otherwise see no findings to account for the patient's pain.
