Initial MRI of the cervical and proximal thoracic spine. Sagittal T2WI (a), axial T2WI (b), sagittal T1WI (c), axial T1WI (d), sagittal STIR (e), and axial STIR (f) images demonstrate an inhomogeneous intradural extramedullary collection in the posterior spinal canal at levels C VII to Th III, compressing the spinal cord. There is also some T1-hyperintense material in the anterior subdural space. Postcontrast sagittal T1wi (g) and axial FS T1WI (h) do not demonstrate any contrast enhancement. The hematoma location is marked with white arrow in all images.

MRI of the cervical and proximal thoracic spine after surgical evacuation of the collection. Sagittal T2WI (a), axial T2WI (b), sagittal T1WI (c), and axial T1WI (d). The collection has been completely removed, there is almost complete re-expansion of the spinal cord.

Postoperative MRI revealed a satisfactory postoperative finding, including good decompression and re-expansion of the spinal cord with regression of myelopathy [Figure 2].
