Facility in the evaluation of the cervical prevertebral soft tissues should be a skill of any otolaryngologist. Tendinitis of the longus colli muscle mimics more serious disease processes of the prevertebral cervical region that the otolaryngologist may be required to evaluate. It has, however, received little attention in otolaryngological literature. Five cases from the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary are presented. Calcific tendinitis of the longus colli muscle is an easily recognized clinical and radiological syndrome. Characteristic features include cervical pain, dysphagia, and distinctive radiographs. The pathognomonic lateral neck film reveals prevertebral soft tissue swelling and an amorphous radiodensity anterior to the C-1 and C-2 vertebral bodies. Symptoms usually manifest over a few days and resolve benignly within 2 weeks.
评估颈椎前软组织的能力应是每位耳鼻喉科医生都具备的技能。颈长肌肌腱炎会模仿耳鼻喉科医生可能需要评估的颈椎前区更严重的疾病过程。然而，它在耳鼻喉科文献中很少受到关注。本文介绍了来自马萨诸塞州眼耳医院的5个病例。颈长肌钙化性肌腱炎是一种易于识别的临床和放射学综合征。其特征性表现包括颈部疼痛、吞咽困难和独特的X线片表现。具有诊断意义的颈部侧位片显示颈椎前软组织肿胀以及C1和C2椎体前方的无定形放射密度影。症状通常在几天内出现，并在2周内良性缓解。
