High signal especially in the right quadratus femoris muscle.
The right quadratus femoris muscle shows a mild fatty degeneration.
The ischiofemoral spaced is narrowed on both sides (10mm).
Case Discussion
Non-traumatic hip pain can be caused by narrowing of the ischiofemoral space. MRI can show signal alterations of the quadratus femoris muscle.
