Muller Weiss disease (MMW) is a rare entity that corresponds to aseptic necrosis of the navicular bone of the adult. It usually affects the woman, bilaterally or unilaterally, and is of unknown origin [1-4]. MMW was suspected in a 21-year-old woman with spontaneous pain in her right foot (middle region). Radiological investigations demonstrated deformed comma-shaped naval bone, severe talo-navicular necrosis and peripheral sclerosis. The surgical treatment was based on the excision of the necrotic navicular bone, associated with an allograft of the iliac crest with talo-navicular arthrodesis. A good clinical and radiological evolution has been observed.
