Article Figures & Data

Figures

  • Figure 1.
    Figure 1.

    Axial neck computed tomography shows the amorphous calcification anterior to the C1-C2 level (arrow).

  • Figure 2.
    Figure 2.

    Sagittal neck computed tomography shows the same amorphous calcification at the C1-C2 level (arrow).

  • Figure 3.
    Figure 3.

    Axial neck computed tomography shows the dark retropharyngeal space fluid collection (arrow).

  • Figure 4.
    Figure 4.

    Sagittal T2 weighted neck magnetic resonance imaging shows the bright retropharyngeal space fluid collection from C1 to C4 (arrows). The calcification is very difficult to see on magnetic resonance imaging.

  • Figure 5.
    Figure 5.

    Axial neck computed tomography shows the amorphous calcification anterior to the C1-C2 level (arrow).

  • Figure 6.
    Figure 6.

    Sagittal neck computed tomography shows the same amorphous calcification (arrow).

  • Figure 7.
    Figure 7.

    Sagittal neck magnetic resonance imaging shows the retropharyngeal space fluid collection (arrow).
