Purulent infection of the neck is a serious condition, which can occur at any age and regardless of any factors. It often leads to the serious complications, including death. A case report. The authors present a case of a 56-year-old patient who reported to the emergency department because of the severe neck pain, fever and progressive weakness. Physical examination revealed an extensive inflammation involving skin and subcutaneous tissue surrounding suboccipital area and neck. Palpation of the thyroid gland showed tumor of the left lobe. Due to deteriorating condition, it was decided to admit the patient to the hospital, along with urgent surgery. It was necessary to perform a repeated removal of the necrotic tissues of the nuchal area. Diabetes mellitus type II was diagnosed during hospitalisation. Long and laborious extensive wound care enabled to perform a skin graft and full recovery. The patient was discharged in good general and local condition in the 11th week of the hospitalization.

Medullary infarct is still little known influencing the short-term vital and functional prognosis of patients. Medullary vascularization is one of the most complex in the body due to the significant number of arteries that contribute to it. Our knowledge is still limited due to the scarcity of vascular medullary accidents and to low accessibility of medullary vessels during assessments. We report the case of a 62-year old patient with type 2 diabetes and a 13-year history of oral antidiabetic treatment who had been followed-up for psoriasis for 4 years. He presented to hospital in the night with his son due to acute onset of upper limb deficit. This deficit was preceded by acute onset of neck pain during his daily prayer. On admission, the patient was conscious, arterial pressure 120/86mmhg, heart rate 89 beat/min, afebrile. Clinical examination showed flaccid brachial diplegia. There was no sensory disorder or sphincteric disorder and cranial nerve examination was normal. Emergency medullary MRI was performed which showed T2 hyperintense signal and "snake-eyes"-like bilateral central dissemination (A and B). Etiological assessment showed therosclerotic patches at the origin of the left internal carotid artery. The diagnosis of myocardial infarct associated with medullary fibrocartilaginous embolism was retained. Functional rehabilitation was started early as well as treatment with platelet aggregation inhibiting drugs.
