Dysphagia
|December 2, 2016
Summary
Acute tendinitis of the longus colli muscle is a rare cause of acute dysphagia and neck pain. This self-limiting condition, due to calcium hydroxyapatite deposition, requires careful diagnosis to avoid unnecessary invasive treatments.
Area of Science:
- Medicine
- Orthopedics
- Radiology
Background:
- Acute dysphagia and cervical pain are common symptoms with diverse etiologies.
- Longus colli muscle tendinitis is an uncommon diagnosis presenting with these symptoms.
Observation:
- Abnormal calcium hydroxyapatite deposition in the prevertebral space can lead to longus colli muscle tendinitis.
- This condition may manifest as pharyngeal swelling and difficulty swallowing.
Findings:
- Longus colli tendinitis is a self-limiting condition.
- Accurate differential diagnosis is crucial to distinguish it from deep cervical infections.
Implications:
- Avoiding misdiagnosis prevents unnecessary invasive treatments for deep cervical infections.
- Recognition of this entity aids in appropriate patient management and timely recovery.

733
Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) presents with diverse symptoms depending on the location and severity of the ulcer. Clinical manifestations of peptic ulcer include dull pain and a burning sensation in the mid-epigastric region.
Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.
