Özet
Kohler’s disease is a rare cause of limping in children which is hypothetically related with impaired blood supply of navicular bone by the compression of other tarsal bones. The clinical mani-festations are pain and swelling in the midfoot and limping with typical steps on the lateral aspect of affected foot. As it is an elu-sive entity for physicians, the lack of clinical suspicion leads to utilization of advanced diagnostic tools and delayed diagnosis. Here we present a case of Kohler’s disease as a 5 years-old girl with acute foot pain and limping.
