Sagittal T1 (A), T2-weighted fat-suppressed (B), post-contrast, sagittal T1-weighted (C), and short-axis T1-weighted (D) MRI show widespread low-signal-intensity foci demonstrating blooming artifact (arrowheads) along the dorsum of the foot indicating soft-tissue gas. Furthermore, fluid collections (white arrows), that show peripheral enhancement (black arrows) and accompanying subcutaneous tissue, fascial and muscular enhancement (asterisk) are present.
