Abstract
Back Mice (BM) is an important differential diagnosis in lower back pain. The diagnosis is typically based on a clinical assessment with palpation of painful freely moveable fatty nodules in the lumbar region. Recently BM have been visualized with musculoskeletal ultrasound. We present a patient with BM treated with block injections. The BM were visualized both sonographically and for the first time with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We suggest MRI as a diagnostic supplement in uncertain BM cases.
