Horizontal section of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of lower extremities, with and without contrast, showing edema within the fascial compartments between the right gastrocnemius and right soleus muscles, as well as in the superficial fascia. A crescent-shaped subfascial fluid collection was also noted over the medial head of the right gastrocnemius muscle, indicative of fasciitis.
