Zusammenfassung:The intersection syndrome, described since the 19(th) century, is an uncommon disorder associated with rubbing at the crossing point between the first dorsal compartment muscles and the radial wrist extensor muscles. Imaging modalities used to diagnosis this syndrome includes ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging.

An MRI and an ultrasound were performed, and objectified a dual cross syndrome of the forearm.
