| Abstract: | This case report describes a patient with acute retrocalcaneal bursitis, which developed after MRI examination of the ankle.
The sagittal T2*-weighted gradient echo sequence revealed an extensive susceptibility artifact in the area surrounding the
Achilles tendon near its insertion at the os calcis. This artifact was caused by postsurgical metallic particles. We postulate
that these particles were mechanically stimulated by the magnetic field and induced the inflammatory response.
