- A myocardial infarction or a ruptured aortic aneurysm was initially suspected; however, laboratory investigations including normal troponin and creatine kinase levels as well as electrocardiography, echocardiography and thorax computed tomography scan excluded these conditions. Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (a) brain MR image showing increased white/grey matter predominantly affecting the parieto-occipital areas and (b) diffusion-weighted image showing elevated intensity signal in a pattern typical for posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. (c) Sagittal T2-weighted, (d) axial T1-weighted and (e) T2-weighted spine MR images showing the spindle-shaped epidural hematoma on the cervicothoracic spine with characteristic signal intensity.
