Calcific tendinitis of the longus colli muscle.
Facility in the evaluation of the cervical prevertebral soft tissues should be a skill of any otolaryngologist. Tendinitis of the longus colli muscle mimics more serious disease processes of the prevertebral cervical region that the otolaryngologist may be required to evaluate. It has, however, received little attention in otolaryngological literature. Five cases from the Massachusetts Eye and ...

متن کاملAcute Calcific Tendonitis of the Longus Colli.
Background Acute calcific tendonitis of the longus colli (ACTLC) is an aseptic inflammatory response to deposition of calcium in the longus colli muscle tendons. Although reports in the literature are scarce, ACTLC likely represents an underreported disease process that routinely goes misdiagnosed. We report a case of ACTLC and provide a brief review of the literature. Case Report A 45-year-o...
متن کاملAcute Retropharyngeal Calcific Tendinitis in an Unusual Location: a Case Report in a Patient with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Atlantoaxial Subluxation
Retropharyngeal calcific tendinitis is defined as inflammation of the longus colli muscle and is caused by the deposition of calcium hydroxyapatite crystals, which usually involves the superior oblique fibers of the longus colli muscle from C1-3. Diagnosis is usually made by detecting amorphous calcification and prevertebral soft tissue swelling on radiograph, CT or MRI. In this report, we intr...
متن کاملA rare case of neck pain: acute longus colli calcific tendinitis in a possibly immunocompromised individual.
We present a rare case of severe neck pain in a 45-year-old man with severe hidradenitis suppurativa who was participating in a study involving adalimumab. The neck pain was associated with acute longus colli calcific tendinitis, which is a noninfectious inflammatory response in the longus colli tendons secondary to deposition of calcium hydroxyapatite crystal. The diagnosis was made by compute...
