Figure 4. Spinal magnetic resonance image (MRI) on days 4 and 11 after code blue. Spinal MRI shows a loss of vertebral height of the Th11, L1 and L5 vertebrae. The MRI also reveals multiple high intensity signals in the multiple vertebral bodies and discs on short-TI inversion recovery imaging. These suggest multiple compression fractures, bone and disc bruises deteriorated due to the patient’s convulsions
