Longus colli tendinitis (LCT) has been described in several case reports, and is likely underdiagnosed due to its non-specific symptoms and self-limiting nature. It usually presents as acute neck pain with retropharyngeal swelling seen on nasoendoscopy and imaging studies. This may lead to unnecessary invasive interventions if physicians are unaware of the disease course. We discuss a case of LCT in a young woman who was treated at our institution, with recommendations on how to identify and treat such cases accurately without overtreatment.
颈长肌肌腱炎(LCT)在多个病例报告中被描述,由于其非特异性症状和自限性,可能被漏诊。它通常表现为急性颈痛,鼻内镜和影像学研究可见咽后肿胀。如果医生不了解该病的病程,可能会导致不必要的侵入性干预。我们讨论了一位在我们机构治疗的年轻女性的 LCT 病例,并就如何准确识别和治疗此类病例而不过度治疗提出了建议。
