An 11-year-old girl with chronic left wrist deformity and pain underwent MRI evaluation. Coronal intermediate-weighted sequence with fat suppression showed a triangular deformity with medial tilt of the distal radius and proximal migration of the triangular-shaped lunate (Fig. 1). The triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) demonstrated diffuse thickening and oblique orientation (Fig. 1, arrow). These findings are suggestive of Madelung deformity. Sagittal intermediate-weighted sequence with fat suppression showed diffuse thickening of the radiolunate ligament, suggesting Vickers ligament (Fig. 2).
