Fig 7. False-positive ALL and disk and true-positive PLL injury manifesting as high T2 signal intensity. On this sagittal fast spin-echo T2-weighted image, there is high signal intensity along the PLL (arrow) manifesting as interruption of the normal dark linear PLL at C5–6. At the same level, the ALL appears disrupted and the disk appears widened compared with the level above, especially anteriorly. However, at surgery only the PLL was found injured and the disk and ALL were intact.
