Fig. 6From: The routes of infection spread in central skull-base osteomyelitis and the diagnostic role of CT and MRI scansDay 93–177. Gadolinium-enhanced MRI, axial plane, T1-weighted, with fat suppression. The signal increases homogeneously on the left side in retrostyloid and pre-styloid regions, longus colli muscle, and Eustachian tubes on both sides. The signal mildly and homogeneously increases in the temporomandibular joint, lateral pterygoid, and masseter muscles on the left side. Bone marrow shows signs of infiltration in the basal part of the occipital boneBack to article page
