case_images: MRI study of the cervical spine. (a) T2-weighted (T2W) sagittal image demonstrates that all visible intervertebral discs have normal T2 fluid intensity and a T2 hyperintensity extending from C5-C6 to cranial C7. (b) T2W and (c) T1-weighted (T1W) transverse images demonstrate the C6-C7 intervertebral disc protruding into the mid-ventral vertebral canal, causing thinning of the subarachnoid space circumferentially and mild dorsal spinal cord deviation. (d) T1W transverse image post-contrast demonstrates marked contrast enhancement of the right lateral aspect of the spinal cord in the area of T2 hyperintensity

case_images: All visible intervertebral discs showed normal T2 fluid intensity (Figure 1a). At C6-C7 the intervertebral disc was protruding into the mid-ventral vertebral canal, causing thinning of the subarachnoid space circumferentially and mild dorsal cord deviation (Figure 1b,c). In the same area, there was marked contrast enhancement of the right lateral aspect of the spinal cord (Figure 1d).
