Sumario:Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is regarded as the most specific and sensitive of imaging modalities for the detection and progression of osteonecrosis (ON). We present MRI progression of ON in the knee in a 40-year-old female patient with Sjogren disease-related interstitial nephritis recently initiated on corticosteroids for deteriorating renal function. This case report correlates the degree of surrounding marrow edema with the patient's symptoms.
