چکیده
Mueller-Weiss syndrome is a rare entity related to adult-onset spontaneous osteonecrosis of the navicular. It is a painful and debilitating illness, which is more frequent in women and can be either unilateral or bilateral. It was first described by Walther Mueller in 1927, who believed this condition was due to chronic compression of the navicular from the adjacent bones. In 1929, Konrad Weiss further described a similar pathology; however, he ascribed osteonecrosis as the primary etiology.
