Description

<p>Calcific tendinitis of the longus colli muscle is a little known disease to otolaryngologists, and is often misdiagnosed as a retropharyngeal abscess. We report three cases of calcific tendinitis of the longus the colli muscle. The patients presented with severe pharyngeal and neck pain and odynophagia of sudden onset, and were suspected to have an infectious disease at first, namely, retropharyngeal abscess or tetanus. They were eventually diagnosed as having calcific tendinitis of the longus colli muscle and treated with NSAIDs. According to the articles, observation of calcific deposition in the retropharyngeal space on CT images confirmed the diagnosis. In addition, we believe that careful local examination is important as an opportunity to distinguish between calcific tendinitis of the longus colli muscle and infectious disease.</p>
