Advanced cervical DOM with extension beyond the discovertebral complex. Sagittal T2 (A), sagittal (B), and axial (C) T1 post contrast MR images coned in to the mid cervical spine show characteristic MR features of C5-C6 DOM with advanced disc and endplate destruction. In addition, there is prominent ventral epidural extension of phlegmonous infection (arrow in A-C) contributing to spinal canal stenosis and spinal cord compression. C) Axial T1-post contrast image best demonstrates the right more than left ventral and lateral paraspinous extension of infection without drainable fluid collection.
