Figure
(A): T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reveals a new
deformity at the C3-C4 vertebral endplates and a hyperintense signal at
C3/C4 intervertebral discs.
(B): Short tau inversion recovery (STIR) MRI shows a hyperintense signal
at the C1-C2 vertebral bodies, suggesting the presence of inflammation.
