The underlying bones are osteopenic and there is syndesmophyte formation throughout the visualized cervicothoracic spine with fusion of the facet joints, in keeping with ankylosing spondylitis. There is elevation of the hyperdensity anterior and posterior to the spinal cord in keeping with a large epidural hematoma extending into the thoracic spine.
