Hydrogen and phosphorus MRS have been used for characterisation of intracranial solid and cystic masses, gynaecological tumours and lymph nodes. We report a cystic, tick-walled mass in the soft tissues of the neck. Single-voxel proton MRS revealed a prominent acetate peak at 1.92 ppm and a diagnosis of abscess was suggested. At operation a pyogenic neck abscess was confirmed, with culture of the pus.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessabscessneckmagnetic resonance spectroscopyArticle45963163310.1007/s00234-003-1062-52-s2.0-014192054312898078Q2WOS:000185459500009Q2
