ABSTRACT
Atraumatic neck pain is a frequent reason for patients to attend the emergency department (ED). It remains a challenge for the treating physician to rule out possible life-threatening causes, such as a retropharyngeal abscess, meningitis or septic spondylodiscitis. Herein, we report the rare case of a patient suffering from retropharyngeal tendinitis. This rare cause of atraumatic neck pain is characterized by a significant decrease in the range of motion of the cervical spine, elevated infection parameters and pathognomonic MRI findings. In addition to presenting the rare case of retropharyngeal tendinitis, we also review selected previous case reports and thereby not only raise awareness for this rare disease but also suggest the best practice for treatment.
