ABSTRACT
Transient synovitis is a common cause of hip pain in children. COVID-19 pandemic affected pediatric cancer patients more often that general pediatric population. COVID-19 has been associated with various musculoskeletal symptoms including synovitis. Radiological assessment of these symptoms can contribute significantly in management of such patients. We report a case of transient synovitis of hip joint following COVID-19 infection in a 10-year-old boy with Hodgkins抯 lymphoma. He presented with fever and myalgia, found to be positive for COVID-19, managed conservatively. Two weeks later presented with right hip pain and limping. He was found to have restricted joint mobility and hip tenderness. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pelvis was done which showed minimal right hip effusion and synovial thickening and enhancement. He was managed conservatively and recovered completely.
