Foramen magnum stenosis with significant compression of the cervicomedullary junction and resultant high T2 signal in the cord.
From the case:
Achondroplasia

Plain radiographs of the upper and lower limbs demonstrate shortened long bones. The lumbar spine has a decreasing transverse diameter. The iliac wings have a tombstone morphology. All features consistent with achondroplasia.
Case Discussion
Fairly typical imaging features of a three-month-old child with clinically confirmed achondroplasia.
