Calcific tendinitis of the neck.

H Newmark, D M Forrester, J C Brown

    Radiology
    |August 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Acute tendinitis of the longus colli muscle in the neck causes severe pain, mimicking infections. This condition involves calcific deposits and soft-tissue swelling, often overlooked by clinicians.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedics
    • Radiology
    • Musculoskeletal Diseases

    Background:

    • Calcific tendinitis commonly affects the shoulder, hip, and elbow, causing significant pain.
    • Clinicians may be unaware of calcific tendinitis affecting the longus colli muscle in the neck.

    Observation:

    • Four patients presented with acute tendinitis of the longus colli muscle.
    • Symptoms included severe pain and muscle spasm, mimicking infectious spondylitis or meningitis.

    Findings:

    • Radiographic examination revealed characteristic soft-tissue swelling.
    • Amorphous calcium deposits were observed within the longus colli tendon.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering longus colli tendinitis in neck pain differential diagnoses.
    • Suggests that radiographic findings of soft-tissue swelling and calcific deposits are key indicators.
    • Emphasizes the need for increased clinician awareness regarding this specific tendinitis presentation.
