We present a case of neck pain in a middle-aged woman, initially attributed to a retropharyngeal infection and treated with urgent intubation.

It is critical to differentiate b...

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 کاملAcute calcific tendinitis of peroneus longus.
We present a case of acute painful calcific tendinitis in the peroneus longus tendon which responded dramatically to a single steroid injection. Calcific tendinitis is most commonly seen in the supraspinatus tendon ; less common sites include the wrist, elbow, deltoid insertion, gluteus maximus, knee, neck and forefoot (Hayes et al 1987). To our knowledge acute calcific tendinitis in peroneus l...
