摘要：
We present a case report of a young female who presented with acute neck pain, odynophagia, and fever. These symptoms were suggestive of possible differential diagnosis including meningitis and retropharyngeal abscess. Subsequent radiological investigations led to a diagnosis of acute calcific tendonitis of the longus colli muscle. Typical clinical presentations and radiological findings of this rare condition are discussed.
