Acute Prevertebral Calcific Tendinitis.
We present a case of neck pain in a middle-aged woman, initially attributed to a retropharyngeal infection and treated with urgent intubation. With the help of computed tomography, the diagnosis was later revised to acute prevertebral calcific tendinitis, a self-limiting condition caused by abnormal calcium hydroxyapatite deposition in the longus colli muscles. It is critical to differentiate b...
متن کاملAcute Calcific Prevertebral Tendinitis
A 47-year-old Japanese man had been suffering from acute posterior neck pain for the previous 2 days. He visited our outpatient department because he had limited neck mobility and was unable to sleep well due to this pain. The posterior neck pain became exacerbated when swallowing, and he also had dysphagia. Computed tomography scans showed light calcification on the anterior surface of the axi...
متن کاملAcute Prevertebral Calcific Tendinitis
A 74-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital due to a high fever, severe neck pain, and odynophagia for several days. A blood test showed a high white blood cell count and high C-reactive protein levels. Enhanced magnetic resonance image (MRI) showed low-signal calcification on T2weighted imaging in the retropharyngeal space at the C1-C2 level (Picture 1, arrow) with slight prevertebral ede...
متن کاملRetropharyngeal Calcific Tendinitis Mimicking a Retropharyngeal Phlegmon
Background. Acute retropharyngeal tendinitis is a little known but not an uncommon condition. It was first described by Hartley in 1964 as an inflammation of the longus colli muscle secondary to calcium crystals deposition on its insertion. The calcifications are mostly located on the oblique portion of the muscle at the level of C1-C2. Methods. We will describe this disease through 4 cases tha...
متن کاملAcute calcific tendinitis of the rectus femoris.
We report six caucasian patients who had acute pain in the hip and marked limitation of all movement of the joint. Plain radiographs and CT of the pelvis showed calcification within the reflected head of rectus femoris. All six responded to accurate CT-controlled injections of corticosteroid and local anaesthetic with dramatic and prolonged pain relief, although one required a second injection ...
