Abstract
A 24-year-old woman presented with a 14-day history of upper back pain. On examination, there was neither reduced range movement of the cervical spine nor neurologic deficits. Cervical computed tomography showed a spinal angulation at the junction of cervical and thoracic vertebrae and a prevertebral necrotic collection from C4 to D3 with destruction of D1 vertebral body (Fig. 1). Magnetic resonance imaging was performed. Sagittal T2-weighted imaging revealed spinal cord angulation with D1 and D2 compression fractures, thickening and soft-tissue swelling, and large posterior epidural abscess associated with spinal cord compression (Fig. 2).
