Results of two biopsies were unremarkable. The process began after sneezing, also produced extensive paraspinous enhancement, and resolved without antibiotic therapy both clinically and radiologically after four months. A discussion of case similarities to Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) in the extremities render this possibly the first reported imaging evidence of RSD in the axial skeleton. %U https://www.ajnr.org/content/ajnr/26/5/1008.full.pdf
