Severe neck pain in a 48-year-old man was diagnosed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Prompt antibiotic treatment led to symptom improvement, highlighting MRI

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Infectious Disease
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Neck pain can indicate serious underlying conditions.
  • Retropharyngeal and epidural space infections require accurate and timely diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A 48-year-old male presented with severe neck pain.
  • T1-weighted Gadolinium-enhanced MRI revealed homogeneously enhanced masses in the retropharyngeal soft tissue, C3-C4 intervertebral disc space, and spinal epidural space.

Findings:

  • The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings were crucial for diagnosing the condition.
  • Intravenous antibiotic therapy resulted in smooth symptom improvement.
  • Surgical intervention was not required.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the diagnostic value of MRI in identifying complex spinal infections.
  • Non-surgical management with antibiotics can be effective for certain retropharyngeal and epidural masses.
  • Early MRI diagnosis facilitates prompt and appropriate treatment, potentially avoiding surgery.
