No significant and relevant personal and family history was present. Patient had a successful operative history for a benign neurogenic tumour in right infratemporal fossa 1.5 months back. Patient was relatively asymptomatic before 10 days. He then gradually developed a swelling at the operative site which sooner became tender and was accompanied with high grade fever 4 days back. Patient also complained of mild restriction of neck movements as well. He then came for detailed examination and then was referred for MRI examination as a part of protocol.
