In the axial fat-suppressed T2-weighted image (a) a hyperintense cystic mass wrapped around the internal jugular vein, extending to the retropharyngeal area in the left cervical region (b) a hyperintense cystic mass wrapped around the internal jugular vein, extending to the mediastinum from the left cervical region.

On contrast T1-weighted fat suppressed images there was only contrast of the thick septa and wall (Fig. 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b).
In the coronal T1-weighted image (a) a cystic mass wrapped around the internal jugular vein on intermittent signal dependent on the haemorrhagic and/or proteinous content, extending to the mediastinum from the left cervical region. In the axial fat-suppressed T1-weighted image (b) cystic mass showing contrast observed in the wall of the left cervical region.
