Cervical spine MRI (a) T2-weighted sagittal view demonstrating extensive ventral epidural hematoma extending from the mid-body of C2 to the superior edge of T2. *Indicates focal area of possible active hemorrhage measuring 7 mm x 6 mm at the level of the C6-7 disc space. (b) T2-weighted axial view with arrow indicating severe spinal cord impingement corresponding with focal area of hemorrhage. Arrows in the figure represent the extent of the epidural hematoma from the mid-C2 vertebral body to T2.

T2 that resulted in significant cord compression. The signal within the clot was hypointense on T1 and hyperintense on the T2 sequences [Figures 1a and b].
Cervical spine MRI obtained at 1 month follow-up with (a) T2-weighted sagittal view and (b) T2-weighted axial views demonstrating complete resolution of hematoma with resolution of previously demonstrated cord compression.

The MRI obtained 1 month later (further confirmed complete resolution of the ventral epidural hematoma with no residual hemorrhage) [Figures 2a and b].
