RESUMEN
If Paget's disease can undermine Alzheimer's disease, there is the possibility of an association between Alzheimer's disease and Paget's disease. We report the observation of an 81-year-old hypertensive patient with Alzheimer's disease, who presented with an isolated increase in alkaline phosphatase, which led to the discovery of Paget's disease. The physician must therefore be careful to distinguish between genuine Alzheimer's disease and a neurological complication of Paget's disease.

Osteochondral lesions of the dome of the talus are becoming an increasingly frequent problem in sports traumatology, and questioning is a major element in the diagnostic orientation, as these are usually young, athletic patients. The main part of the diagnosis is based on complementary imaging examinations. We report the clinical observation of an adult patient, an athlete, referred to a rheumatology consultation for chronic pain of the right ankle with a mechanical appearance and difficulty in walking. Clinical and paraclinical examinations (standard X-ray, CT scan and magnetic resonance imaging) finally led to the conclusion of an osteochondritis of the talus.
