Abstract
The authors present the first case of acute calcific tendinitis of the neck seen on
computed tomography. Although clinical presentation and routine radiographs suggested
the diagnosis, computed tomography established it by illustrating calcification of
the longus colli muscle that was not seen on the radiographs. The illustrations and
interesting aspects of the case are described.
