ABSTRACT:Haglund Syndrome is one of the causes of posterior heel pain. It is the inflammation of the tendoachilles at the calcaneal insertional site and the regional soft tissues. It comprises of insertional Achilles tendinopathy, retrocalcaneal & retroachilles bursitis and posterior calcaneal bony spur. Imaging plays a very important role in the diagnosis as it can be mimicked by several other conditions like isolated retrocalcaneal bursitis, enthesopathies and accessory soleus muscle. Though plain radiograph is the initial modality of investigation, MRI is preferred as it offers superior soft tissue contrast resolution and accurate diagnosis.
