Acute Retropharyngeal Calcific Tendonitis as a Rare Cause of Odynophagia and Neck Pain

Öz:

Retropharyngeal calcific tendonitis (RCT) is an aseptic inflammatory process of the superior oblique tendons of the longus colli muscle caused by the deposition of calcium hydroxyapatite crystals. We reported a 23-year-old woman who presented with a sudden onset of neck pain with odynophagia after waking up from sleep. Physical examination showed paracervical point tenderness with limited neck movement in all directions. Prior to surgery, further imaging was requested to aid in diagnosis, which in turn revealed RCT. It is important to be aware that RCT presentation may mimic other severe conditions such as retropharyngeal space abscess or meningitis.

Odinofaji ve Boyun Ağrısının Nadir Bir Nedeni Olarak Akut Retrofarengeal Kalsifik Tendonit

Öz:

Retrofarengeal kalsifik tendinit (RCT), kalsiyum hidroksiapatit kristalleri birikmesinin neden olduğu longus colli kasının üst oblik tendonlarının aseptik enflamatuar bir sürecidir. Uykudan uyandıktan sonra odinofaji ile birlikte ani başlayan boyun ağrısı ile bize başvuran 23 yaşındaki bir kadın vakasını sunuyoruz. Fizik muayenede, her yöne sınırlı boyun hareketi ile birlikte para-servikal nokta hassasiyeti görülmüştür. Ameliyattan önce, tanıya yardımcı olmak için daha fazla görüntüleme istenmiştir ve RCT ortaya çıkmıştır. RCT sunumunun retrofaringeal boşluk apsesi veya menenjit gibi diğer ciddi durumları taklit edebileceğinin farkında olmak önemlidir.
