Prevertebral fat in Madelung disease mimicking cervical spine injury: A case report

Madelung disease is defined by multiple symmetric fatty accumulations, usually involving the upper trunk, and may sometimes have excessive fat deposition in the prevertebral space. On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), findings of fat that are hyperintense on T1w and T2w images, may simulate subacute...

On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), findings of fat that are hyperintense on T1w and T2w images, may simulate subacute hematoma and mimic cervical spine injury.
