case_images: (a) Axial MRI cervical spine T1 with contrast showing a contrast-enhancing ventral epidural mass consistent with an abscess or phlegmon. There are no subacute or chronic intramedullary changes in the cervical cord that would otherwise suggest a chronic pathology. (b) Sagittal MRI cervical spine T1 with contrast showing a ring-enhancing ventral epidural mass from C3-T1 consistent with abscess or phlegmon. The ventral epidural mass exhibits mass effect on the cervical cord with effacement of the dura
