its true incidence is probably higher&#44; given that it often goes undiagnosed due to unawareness of many physicians&#44; misinterpretation and confusion with other entities&#46; The increasing accessibility of CT by emergency services will probably enable more new cases to be documented&#46; From an epidemiological standpoint&#44; it primarily affects patients aged between 30 and 60 years and is more frequent among women&#46;</p><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Patients usually present symptoms of acute cervical pain associated with reflex muscle contraction&#44; decreased cervical range of motion&#44; especially extension&#44; and varying degrees of odynophagia and dysphagia&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> Dyspnoea is not usually present&#46;

as well as discreet alteration of the leukocyte count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate&#46; All these signs may erroneously guide towards retropharyngeal infection&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> However&#44; in the latter entity&#44; patients usually present a poorer condition with marked fever and clear alterations in their leukocyte count and acute phase reactants&#46;</p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A thorough clinical history and examination are essential in order to identify this condition&#44; as some subtle clinical findings may orient the differential diagnosis&#46; Thus&#44; cervical sprains&#44; contracture and pain are greater in the paravertebral muscles of the neck radiating towards the shoulders&#44; occiput and interscapular region&#44; whilst pain in prevertebral tendinitis mainly appears in the anterior cervical region&#44; usually lateralised&#44; and with a scarce contraction component of the posterior paravertebral musculature&#44; without radiation&#46; As in acute cervical discopathy&#44; pain increases with movement&#44; which is very limited&#46; However&#44; whilst discopathy symptoms worsen with head flexion&#44; pain in prevertebral tendinitis increases with extension and improves with neck flexion&#46; Patients may present some degree of analgesic torticollis to relax the <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">longus colli</span> muscle&#46;</p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Oropharyngeal inspection is normal in these patients&#44; unlike in pharyngotonsillar infections which show hyperaemic changes and swelling of the tonsillar pillars or pultaceous plates&#46; Odynophagia referred by these patients is typically lateralised and not linked to the midline of the anterior cervical region&#44; as it would be in true oropharyngeal processes&#46;</p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In terms of radiography&#44; a characteristic sign is the presence of amorphous calcifications in the superior insertion of the <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">longus colli</span> muscle tendon at the C1&#8211;C2 level in the lateral projection of the cervical spine&#44; as well as a variable increase in prevertebral soft tissues&#44; typically from C1 to C4&#44; although it may extend inferiorly up to C6&#44; with anterior displacement of the airway&#46; The radiographic identification of these deposits may not be evident&#46; Small degrees of rotation or overlapping anatomical structures such as the earlobe or calcification of the stylohyoid ligament may be misleading&#46; Therefore&#44; good penetration and correct radiographic alignment are essential to locate these calcifications&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a></p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The literature also contains reports of the same symptoms due to calcification deposition anterior to C5&#8211;C6&#44;

Whilst retropharyngeal abscesses require surgical drainage and antibiotics&#44; calcific tendinitis responds favourably to conservative treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs&#46;</p><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">There are certain features in a CT scan which enable us to differentiate this entity from other conditions&#58; &#40;1&#41; the fluid gently expands the retropharyngeal space in all directions&#59; &#40;2&#41; absence of wall enhancement around the fluid&#44; which would appear in the case of a retropharyngeal abscess&#59; &#40;3&#41; absence of lymphadenopathy&#44; and &#40;4&#41; pathognomonic tendinous calcifications in the <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">longus colli</span> muscle&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a></p><p id="par0090" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Magnetic resonance imaging &#40;MRI&#41; is not as useful as CT because it does not reveal calcifications as reliably&#46; In addition&#44; it is not usually accessible by emergency services&#46; However&#44; an MRI scan would show an increased T2 signal corresponding to oedema in the retropharyngeal space and may also&#44;
