A 58-year-old woman with symptoms of chronic compartment syndrome of the right lower leg. Coronal turbo spin echo (TSE) T2-w. fat-saturated image a shows an ovoidal mass (arrow) between the muscles of the posterior compartment. Contrast-enhanced study (not shown) was inconclusive. On gradient echo (GE) T2*-w. images obtained simultaneously with different echoes—8, 16 and 40 ms (b–d), respectively—evident and homogeneous blooming of the entire lesion allows to characterize the mass as a hematoma (arrow)
