Sagittal and axial images of cervical MRI. MRI performed 10 days after symptom onset showed focal high signal intensity in the C5-6 level on T2 weighted image (T2WI) (A, B) with focal enhancement (C, D). The lesion was improved on T2WI (E, F) and was not enhanced after gadolinium injection (G, H) 3 months later.
