Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the cervical spine demonstrating an ill-defined intense enhancing mass at the anterior aspect of C6 and C7 vertebral borders with vertebral bodies enhancement and signal changes (low on T1, high on T2) at this level. Degenerating disc bulging with eroding of the thecal sac is seen at C3/C4 to C5/C6 levels.
