Kohler disease refers to childhood onset avascular necrosis of the navicular bone. Hybrid SPECT-CT bone scintigraphy offers both functional and anatomic details in a single acquisition if radiography is non-diagnostic in a limping child. We present the case of a 7 year-old child with persistent post-traumatic left foot pain. Tc99m MDP bone SPECT-CT scan demonstrated characteristic anatomic features of left navicular avascular necrosis.
