Mueller-Weiss disease is an alteration of the tarsal navicular that is primarily due to anomalous ossification of the bone and lateral deviation of the talar head associated with screw-like movement through the axis of the subtalar joint. This syndrome tends to be associated with various degrees of flatfoot and hindfoot valgus combined with subtalar joint varus. Ancient cases of Mueller-Weiss disease have not been described in specialized literature. We present the case of an adult male from the Hellenistic period (Ptolemaic dynasty; fourth to first century BC), the skeleton for which was found inside a sarcophagus in the archaeological site of Sharuna (middle Egypt) with Mueller-Weiss disease. The specimen is, in all likelihood, the earliest case of this type of foot pathology in the archaeological record.
米勒 - 魏斯病是舟状骨的一种病变，主要是由于该骨异常骨化以及距骨头外侧偏移，并伴有通过距下关节轴的螺旋样运动。这种综合征往往与不同程度的扁平足和后足外翻合并距下关节内翻有关。专业文献中尚未描述过古代的米勒 - 魏斯病病例。我们报告一例来自希腊化时期（托勒密王朝；公元前四世纪至一世纪）的成年男性病例，其骨骼在沙鲁纳（埃及中部）考古遗址的一个石棺内被发现，患有米勒 - 魏斯病。该标本很可能是考古记录中此类足部病理学的最早病例。
