抄録

Acute longus colli calcific tendinitis is induced by inflammation of the longus colli tendon following deposition of calcified particles and causes acute neck pain, stiffness, and dysphagia. It can heal spontaneously within 1-2 weeks, but many cases are treated with powerful antibiotic drugs because these symptoms and swelling of the soft tissue in the retropharyngeal area along with laboratory evidence of elevated inflammatory reaction in the blood mimic the response to retropharyngeal abscess. To distinguish this tendonitis from retropharyngeal abscess, detection of calcification anterior to the axis (C2) by computed tomography (CT) is very important.<br> We report a case of a 51-year-old woman initially suspected of having retropharyngeal abscess by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) alone, but by using CT, we confirmed the presence of calcification.<br>
