  		Figure 1. (a) T1 weighted sagittal image of cervical spine shows cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) intensity cystic lesion ventral to spinal cord extending from C1 to C3. There is loss CSF–cord interface. (b) T2 weighted sagittal image of cervical spine shows CSF intensity cystic lesion ventral to cord extending from C1 to C3. Hyperintense foci are seen within the cord.
