Figure 2. Sagittal cervical spine magnetic resonance imaging. Most evident on the T1-weighted image (A), bone defects are noted around the foramen magnum and posterior elements of C1 and C2 (bracket; }), suggestive of suboccipital craniectomy and laminectomy of C1 and C2. Also evident on the T1-weighted and T2-weighted image (B) is a spinal cord syrinx (arrowheads). At the lowermost extent of the image, the upper thoracic spinal canal is not visible, given the patient’s scoliotic curvature at this region.
