Calcific tendinitis of the prevertebral muscles is a rare clinical entity. Its nonspecific presenting symptoms (e.g., retropharyngeal space infection) may mimic an infectious etiology. Treatment is based on the administration of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for 2 to 3 weeks and cessation of symptom-provoking activity. Most patients will improve greatly within the first 48 to 72 hours after the initiation of an NSAID, and complete resolution generally occurs within 3 weeks. We describe a new case of prevertebral calcific tendinitis, and we review the literature on this condition.
椎前肌钙化性肌腱炎是一种罕见的临床病症。其非特异性的表现症状（如咽后间隙感染）可能会模拟感染性病因。治疗方法是给予非甾体类抗炎药（NSAID）2至3周，并停止诱发症状的活动。大多数患者在开始使用NSAID后的最初48至72小时内会有显著改善，通常在3周内完全缓解。我们描述了一例新的椎前肌钙化性肌腱炎病例，并对有关该病症的文献进行了综述。
