Magnetic resonance imaging of a 60-year-old immunocompetent man with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clonal complex 398 infection. A, B) Axial (A) and sagittal (B) T2-weighted fat suppressed sequences of the cervical spine demonstrate a retropharyngeal abscess (1) that moderately anteriorly displaces and mildly effaces the hypopharynx (2). C, D) Axial (C) and sagittal (D) T2-weighted MRI sequences of the thoracolumbar spine (T11–L2 vertebra levels labeled) demonstrate a large ventral

C, D) Axial (C) and sagittal (D) T2-weighted MRI sequences of the thoracolumbar spine (T11–L2 vertebra levels labeled) demonstrate a large ventral, combined epidural (1) and subdural (2) spinal collection that displaces the conus medullaris (3) dorsally. Note the dura mater (4) on the sagittal sequence, which delineates the theca and separates the epidural and subdural spaces.
