Figure 2

Axial T2‑weighted (A) and sagittal STIR (B) MRI sequences confirm the presence of multiple hypointense foci in keeping with intraosseous gas within the right iliac wing and the L1 vertebral body. The L1 vertebral body also demonstrates diffuse increased signal compared with adjacent vertebrae, compatible with bone marrow oedema.

Axial contrast‑enhanced CT of the abdomen demonstrates multiple small, ill‑defined hypodense lesions within the right kidney (A, B) and spleen (C, D), suspicious for septic emboli.
