Physical examination revealed a palpable and audible snap on the lateral aspect of the left hip accompanied by significant pain. She was on a rehabilitation programme due to syringomyelia complicating spinal surgeries for removal of pilocytic astrocytoma at the level of T6-7 in 2011 and in 2019 after local recurrence. She had muscle weakness necessitating assistance during standing upright and walking. Plain radiographs (Fig. 1) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (Figs. 2 and 3) of the pelvis and left hip were obtained.
