Figures
- Figure 1.
Lateral view of the cervical plain radiograph showed a large area of prevertebral soft-tissue swelling (long arrows) from C1 to C5. Focal calcification was noted inferior to the C1 arch (short arrow).
- Figure 2.
Sagittal computed tomography scan shows an amorphous calcification (short arrow) anterior to the C1–C2 level. The disk space and heights were maintained. A retropharyngeal soft-tissue fluid collection extends from C2–C4 (long arrows).
- Figure 3.
Computed tomography of the axial neck shows a calcific density (arrow) at the superior tendons of the longus colli at the C1–C2 level.
- Figure 4.
Sagittal view of a T1-weighted magnetic resonance image shows a bright retropharyngeal space focal effusion (arrow) dissecting into the longus colli muscles bilaterally from the anterior C1–C5 level, the absence of wall enhancement in the surrounding soft tissue, and the absence of suppurative retropharyngeal lymph nodes.
- Figure 5.
Additional sagittal view shows a bright retropharyngeal space focal effusion (arrow) dissecting into the longus colli muscles bilaterally from the anterior C1–C5 level.
- Figure 6.
T2-weighted magnetic resonance image shows a bright retropharyngeal effusion (arrow).
- Figure 7.
Sagittal view of a T1-weighted magnetic resonance image shows interval resolution (arrow) of the prevertebral enhancing fluid collection, with no evidence of abscess or residual inflammation.
