case_images: (a) Postoperative sagittal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the cervical spine with contrast showing lack of enhancement in the spinal cord. (b) Follow-up sagittal MRI of the cervical spine with contrast showing enhancement in the spinal cord. (c) Sagittal MRI of the cervical spine with contrast showing enhancement in the spinal cord. (d) Postoperative sagittal MRI of the cervical spine with contrast showing resolution of the intramedullary abscess. Arrows indicate intramedullary enhancement of the spinal cord.

case_images: Postoperative MRI of the cervical spine demonstrated decompression of the spinal cord without evidence of intramedullary lesion [Figure 1a]. MRI of the cervical spine demonstrated the progression of known neurofibromas with spinal cord compression and edema bilaterally from C3 to C6 [Figure 1b]. MRI of the cervical spine demonstrated increased size of the intradural nerve sheath tumor in the dorsal aspect of the canal at C6-C7 with persistent intramedullary enhancement at C6 [Figure 1c]. MRI of the cervical spine postoperatively demonstrated evacuation of the intramedullary lesion [Figure 1d].
