Abstract

Metaphyseal cysts are common findings in Legg-Calv Perthes(LCP) disease, though usually disappear within 6-12 months. Several studies have described the MR imaging findings of these cysts, though serial MRI findings have not been documented. In this report, therefore, we report the serial MRI results of metaphyseal cyst in LCP patients.
