Images in a patient who was diagnosed with ORN of the cervical spine after radiotherapy for NPC, these images derived from our hospital, and patients’ informed consent was waived by the institutional review board. a Coronal FS T2-weighted image shows hyperintensity in the left aspect of C1 (white arrow) and shows muscle edema in the left neck (red arrow). b Axial T2W image shows hyperintensity in the left aspect of C1 (white arrow) and paravertebral muscle edema (red arrow). c Axial enhanced T1W image shows irregular endplate destruction and enhancement in the left aspect of C1 (white arrow), and shows marked enhancement in bilateral paravertebral muscles (red arrow). d At MRI follow-up examination after 10 months, the Axial T2W image shows the area of hyperintensity in the left aspect of C1 (white arrow) and paravertebral muscle edema (red arrow) has significantly shrunken
