Acute ST-segment elevation (STE) on electrocardiogram (EKG) is very frequently associated with myocardial infarction, which requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. However, there are multiple other causes of acute STE, both cardiac and noncardiac. Here we describe a unique case of acute inferior and lateral STE caused by osteomyelitis and abscess of the lower cervical vertebrae.
