Sagittal T2-weighted magnetic resonance images of the cervical spine after completion of five weeks of doxycycline and rifampin, showing progressive erosion of the C4 vertebral body and new involvement of C5 vertebral body when compared to initial imaging. There is also an ill-defined prevertebral and epidural fluid signal and enhancement extending from C2 to C6. Area of involvement indicated by arrow. Note: This case is based on a presentation by Drs. Lauren S. Starnes, Alison Carroll, Marni Krehnbrink, Ashley Blaske, Kaitlin Williamson, Gregory Wilson, Sophie Katz, Brent Graham, Daniel Dulek, and Charlotte Brown at the 2020 American Academy of Pediatrics National Conference and Exhibition.
