CT and MRI on arrival. CT showed no intracranial hemorrhagic lesions; however, mild heterogeneous density was observed in the retro-odontoid process area (black triangle). On T1- and T2-weighted MRI of the head, a low-intensity mass was observed in the retro-odontoid process, suggesting calcification, and compression of the cervicomedullary junction (white triangle), which was accompanied by ischemic change (asterisk). On T1- and T2-weighted MRI, a high-intensity area was observed in front of the upper cervical spine, suggesting hematoma (white arrow). CT: Computed tomography, MRI: Magnetic resonance imaging
