Abstract: We describe a patient diagnosed as having retropharyngeal tendinitis with severe neck pain, difficulties in swallowing and muscular spasm in the neck. Roentgenograms and CT showed the characteristic picture of soft tissue swelling and calcification in a prevertebral position in front of C1 and C2 corresponding to the longus colli muscle. The syndrome is not often diagnosed but in patients with neck pain the differential diagnosis should be kept in mind.
