This entity which was first described by Preiser, in 1909 begins with pain and tenderness, and limitation of range of motion of the wrist. We present a case at 20 Years of age. The history ofthe patient didn’t reveal any wrist trauma. By physical examination the range of motion of the wrist was limited. MRI revealed diminished blood supply to the navicular bone. The case was classified as stage IV avascular necrosis and was treated by denervation ofthe wrist. Because of the presentation of a patient with this very rare disease, the case is introduced along with discussion of the related literature.}, number={3}, publisher={Turkish Association of Orthopaedics and Traumatology}
