Abstract
The talonavicular coalition is a rare congenital anomaly of the foot, often associated with other malformations. Unlike other coalitions, most patients are asymptomatic and do not require surgery. The authors describe two cases of patients with talonavicular coalition, one bilateral and the other unilateral associated with other malformations. The sign of the mushroom is presented as a practical way to diagnose talonavicular coalition on a standing anteroposterior radiograph, in which the contours of the bone fusion mimic the shape of a mushroom. This sign will help radiologists in the proper diagnosis of this rare coalition.
