Figure 1.
Initial cervical spine MRI shows enhancing epidural fluid collection (white arrow) at atlantoaxial joint and C1-2 level. This epidural abscess has high signal intensity on T2 and rim-enhancement on T1 enhanced images (A). Follow up cervical spine MRI shows marked improvement of marginal enhancing fluid collection (B).
