Abstract

Prolonged ankle pain is not uncommon in population. The peroneus quartus (PQ) muscle is rarely involved in pathologic processes of the ankle, but can be a cause lateral ankle pain. We report an unusual case of a young woman with chronic ankle pain caused by the presence of a PQ muscle in the lateral compartment. It is useful to be familiar with the magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonographic imaging appearances of PQ muscle and recognition of this variation will allow differentiation from other abnormalities
