(a) Arrow is showing epidural enhancement and thickening consistent with T10–L1 epidural phlegmon. No discrete walled-off epidural abscess is present. (b) Arrow is showing Discitis at T12–L1, there is marrow oedema and enhancement within the T12 and L1 vertebral bodies and the T12/L1 intervertebral disc is oedematous with endplate erosions. Changes are in keeping with T12/L1 discitis and adjacent vertebral body osteomyelitis. (c) Arrow is pointing to the right psoas abscess extending from L1 to L4 measuring 2.4 cm (AP) × 2.4 cm (transverse) × 8.3 cm (craniocaudal). This extends from L1 to L4. Oedema is seen within the psoas muscles surrounding the collection.
