Bursitis De Novo": A Clinical Case of Ischiofemoral Impingement (original) (raw)

This report presents a clinical case of a 73-year-old woman suffering from persistent pain in the right gluteal area and thigh, following an epileptic seizure. The patient had a history of seropositive rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis, with previous hip surgery for a femoral neck fracture. Imaging techniques revealed ischiofemoral impingement along with a condition dubbed "bursitis de novo." Treatment included selective injection therapies, physiotherapy, and ultimately total hip replacement, leading to varying degrees of pain relief and mobility improvement. The study emphasizes the importance of MRI imaging in diagnosing ischiofemoral impingement and suggests that while conservative treatment options are available, surgical interventions may be necessary for effective pain management.
