The authors present a case-history pertaining to the early diagnosis of Perthes' disease by magnetic resonance in a patient with a marked clinical symptomatology and a negative classical skiagram. Typical changes on the X-ray picture developed after a three-month interval. Confirmation of the importance of magnetic resonance for early diagnosis of Perthes' disease is consistent with the quoted literature. Key words: early diagnosis, Perthes' disease, magnetic resonance.
