A 36-year-old woman with Acanthamoeba spp. osteomyelitis of the left fibula. MRI of the proximal left tibia performed the same day as the radiograph of Fig. 3. Coronal short-tau inversion recovery (A) and T1WI (B) images show abnormally high short-tau inversion recovery SI and low T1 SI within the proximal fibula with contiguous fluid collection (arrow), which was a recurrent abscess. Bone loss resulted from a combination of destruction by the infectious process and prior surgical debridement.
