34-year-old female with a history of left hip pain and sickle cell disease and radiograph suggestive of avascular necrosis. Note is made of heterogeneous bone marrow signal abnormality consistent with the patient's stated history of sickle cell disease. There is curvilinear signal abnormality within the superior femoral head consistent with avascular necrosis. No definite subchondral collapse is identified. There is a small amount of fluid within the joint without evidence of a large effusion. The imaged musculature of the left hip is normal in appearance. There is mild peritrochanteric inflammation which is not necessarily of any clinical significance. Note is made of multiple prominent lymph nodes in the left inguinal region.
Avascular necrosis of the left femoral head.
