Metatarsalgia is a general term for pain in the area of the metatarsophalangeal joints. Sesamoiditis is an uncommon cause of metatarsalgia. It is pain at the sesamoid bones beneath the head of the first metatarsal with inflammation or fracture. The diagnosis is usually clinical, with localized tenderness on palpation. Diagnosing the cause of metatarsalgia in patients without this classical sign is difficult. We present here such a case of a 37-year-old lady in whom sesamoiditis was diagnosed with technetium-99m ((99m)Tc)-methylene diphosphonate (MDP) single photon emission tomography-computed tomography (SPECT-CT).
跖痛症是一个用于描述跖趾关节区域疼痛的通用术语。籽骨炎是跖痛症的一种不常见病因。它是第一跖骨头下方籽骨处的疼痛，伴有炎症或骨折。诊断通常基于临床症状，触诊时有局部压痛。在没有这种典型体征的患者中诊断跖痛症的病因很困难。我们在此介绍一位37岁女性的病例，该病例通过99m锝（99mTc）-亚甲基二膦酸盐（MDP）单光子发射断层扫描-计算机断层扫描（SPECT-CT）诊断为籽骨炎。
