Migrating transient bone marrow edema syndrome of the knee: MRI findings in a new case.

We report a case of transient bone marrow edema syndrome migrating within two different compartments of the same knee. This unusual pattern of migration of the marrow edema, which has been previously described only in three cases of transient osteoporosis, may raise the suspicion of an aggressive disease. Radiologists should be aware of this phenomenon in order to avoid an aggressive management of this self-limiting disease.
