Abstract
Persistent pain following ankle sprain remains a difficult diagnostic and management dilemma. We report a 22 year old rugby player who presented with a persistent painful left ankle following a minor ankle sprain. After examination and imaging investigations, a symptomatic accessory soleus muscle was diagnosed on the left ankle, and an asymptomatic accessory soleus muscle on the right.
