ABSTRACT

La tendinitis calcificante del músculo largo del cuello es una patología subdiagnsoticada, de baja frecuencia, autolimitada. Se presenta clínicamente como una de las causas de odinofagia en la consulta médica. Se produce debido al depósito de cristales de hidroxiapatita en espacio retrofaríngeo, desencadenándose una respuesta inflamatoria local. En la TMLC el principal diagnóstico diferencial es el absceso retrofaríngeo, ya que puede presentarse clínicamente con odinofagia, disfagia , disminución de la movilidad del cuello y cervicalgia. En nuestro trabajo se analiza un caso clínico sobre dicha patología, en un hombre de 45 años; realizando un análisis de la sintomatología, diagnóstico y tratamiento de esta entidad.


Calcific tendinitis of the long neck muscle is an underdiagnosed, low frequency, self-limited pathology. It is clinically presented as one of the causes of odynophagia in the medical consultation. It occurs due to the deposit of hydroxyapatite crystals in the retropharyngeal space, triggering a local inflammatory response. On This patholgy, the main differential diagnosis is retropharyngeal abscess, since it can present clinically with odynophagia, dysphagia, decreased mobility of the neck, and neck pain. In our work, a clinical case of this pathology is analyzed, in a 45-year-old man; performing an analysis of the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of this entity.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN La tendinitis calcificante prevertebral es una patología benigna y poco frecuente, con una incidencia anual de 0,5 casos por cada 100.000 habitantes. Se presenta un caso de una paciente de 52 años que consultó por cervicalgia, odinofagia y disfonía de 5 días de evolución. Tras una exploración otorrinolaringológica completa se sospechó ocupación del espacio retrofaríngeo, confirmada con pruebas de imagen. Ante estos hallazgos y con la sospecha de absceso retrofaríngeo, se decidió ingreso hospitalario para tratamiento intravenoso. Por discordancia entre la clínica, la TC y los hallazgos analíticos, se solicitó RM cervical, cuya imagen hizo sospechar una tendinitis aguda calcificante del longísimo del cuello. En este trabajo se ha realizado una revisión de la sintomatología, el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de esta entidad. Consideramos importante sospecharla dentro del diagnóstico diferencial de la ocupación del espacio retrofaríngeo para evitar realizar procedimientos innecesarios.


ABSTRACT Prevertebral calcific tendinitis is a benign and infrequent pathology, with an annual incidence of 0.5 cases per 100,000 habitants. We report the case of a 52-year-old woman that presented with a 5-day history of cervicalgia, odynophagia and dysphonia. Otolaryngological examination and radiological images showed occupation of the retropharyngeal space. The patient was admitted to the hospital for intravenous treatment. A cervical MRI was requested, suggesting an acute calcific tendinitis of the longus colli muscles. The authors provide a discussion of the clinical findings, diagnosis and treatment of this condition. We consider it to be an important differential diagnosis of a retropharyngeal space occupation, in order to avoid unnecessary procedures.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN La piomiositis es una infección bacteriana del músculo estriado, siendo extremadamente rara la afectación de la musculatura cervical. Se ha asociado en nuestro medio a enfermedades crónicas como la diabetes y a la inmunodepresión. Presentamos a un paciente de 67 años que acude al servicio de urgencias por tumoración laterocervical de rápido crecimiento, negando antecedentes de interés a excepción de diabetes mellitus tipo II. Se le realizó estudio de imagen con tomografía computarizada con contraste, observándose aumento de volumen del músculo esternocleidomastoideo izquierdo y se empezó tratamiento empírico con antibióticos endovenosos. Dada la evolución tórpida finalmente se realizó drenaje quirúrgico bajo anestesia general con mejoría de los parámetros clínicos y analíticos. La piomiositis de los músculos cervicales es muy rara (0,4%-1% de todos los casos) siendo el esternocleidomastoideo el músculo del cuello más frecuentemente afectado. La tomografía computarizada representa la prueba de imagen de elección, permitiendo un rápido diagnóstico llegando a poder diferenciar este cuadro de otros similares. Considerando que muchos de estos pacientes presentan comorbilidades asociadas y/o inmunosupresión, es de extrema importancia diagnosticarlos precozmente y empezar un tratamiento adecuado que dependerá del grado y extensión de la infección. A pesar de ser una entidad poco frecuente, su incidencia está en aumento en nuestro medio asociada a la infección por VIH y otras condiciones de inmunodepresión. Hay que tenerla en mente en el diagnóstico diferencial de las tumoraciones laterocervicales porque solo con una alta sospecha clínica se podrá llevar al cabo un diagnóstico precoz y un tratamiento adecuado.


ABSTRACT Pyomyositis is a bacterial infection of the striated muscle that may affect the cervical musculature in very few cases. In the occidental world it has been associated with chronic diseases as diabetes and immunosuppression. We present a 67 years old patient attended to the Emergency Department because of a laterocervical fast growth tumor, without an interesting clinical history with the exception of type II diabetes mellitus. A CT scan with contrast showed an increased volume in the left sternocleidomastoid muscle, so an empiric treatment with intravenous antibiotics was started. Because of a bad evolution we finally performed a surgical drainage of the abscess under general anesthesia with an improvement of symptoms and laboratory markers. The pyomyositis of cervical muscles is very rare (0.4-1% of all cases) and the sternocleidomastoid muscle is the most commonly affected cervical muscle. CT scan is the gold standard imaging technique, because it allows to diagnose this disease and rule out other similar entities. If we consider that many patients present with associated comorbidities and/ or immunosuppression, it's very important to perform a rapid diagnosis and to begin a correct treatment that depends on the grade and extension of the infection. Although polymyositis of the sternocleidomastoid muscle is rare, its incidence is increasing associated to HIV infection and other immunosuppressive conditions. We have to keep in mind this pathology in the differential diagnosis of laterocervical tumors because high clinical suspicion is necessary to make a rapid diagnosis and a correct treatment.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to clarify the pathogenesis of plunging ranulas in regard of the pathway of lesion propagation using CT scans. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed CT scans of 41 patients with plunging ranula. We divided plunging ranulas into two types: type 1 was defined as those directly passing through a defect of the mylohyoid muscle with the presence (type 1A) or absence (type 1B) of the tail sign and type 2 as those through the traditional posterior route along the free edge of the mylohyoid muscle. Images were also analyzed for the extent of the lesion in respect to the spaces involved. As for type 1 lesions, we recorded the location of the defect of the mylohyoid muscle and the position of the sublingual gland in relation to the defect. RESULTS: CT scans demonstrated type 1 lesion in 36 (88%), including type 1A in 14 and type 1B in 22, and type 2 lesion in 5 (12%). Irrespective of the type, the submandibular space was seen to be involved in all cases either alone or in combination with one or more adjacent spaces. Of the 36 patients with type 1 lesions, the anterior one-third was the most common location of the defect of the mylohyoid muscle, seen in 22 patients. The sublingual gland partially herniated in 30 patients. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that the majority of plunging ranulas take an anterior shortcut through a defect of the mylohyoid muscle.

ABSTRACT

A tendinite calcária aguda pré-vertebral é uma condição benigna e rara que apresenta calcificação das fibras do músculo longo do pescoço com reação inflamatória local, sendo esta uma das formas de apresentação menos frequentes da doença por deposição de hidroxiapatita de cálcio. Manifesta-se com dor cervical aguda e/ou odinofagia, podendo ser erroneamente diagnosticada como abscesso retrofaríngeo, espondilodiscite ou alteração decorrente de trauma. Os achados radiológicos na tendinite calcária pré-vertebral são patognomônicos. O conhecimento de tais achados é muito importante, pois o correto diagnóstico possibilita a resolução precoce dos sintomas e evita intervenções desnecessárias em um paciente que apresenta afecção com boa resposta ao tratamento conservador.


Acute calcific prevertebral tendinitis is a benign and rare condition that presents calcification of the superior oblique fibers of longus colli muscle with local inflammatory reaction. Such condition is one of the less common presentations of calcium hydroxyapatite deposition disease. Clinical signs are usually acute neck pain and odynophagia, and it may be misdiagnosed as retropharyngeal abscess, spondylodiscitis or traumatic injury. The imaging findings in calcific prevertebral tendinitis are pathognomonic. The knowledge of such findings is extremely important to avoid unnecessary interventions in a patient presenting a condition with a good response to conservative treatment.

ABSTRACT

Infantile fibromatosis represents the childhood counter part of musculoaponeurotic fibromatosis & arises as a solitary mass in skeletal muscle, adjacent fascia, aponeurosis or periosteum. The lesion is extremely rare. Microscopically it exists in two forms diffuse (mesenchymal) & desmoid. The less common desmoid form rarely occurs in infancy. Immunophenotype shows vimentin positivity with variable positivity with muscle markers. The differential diagnosis of this type is infantile fibrosarcoma. The tumor may locally recur if inadequately excised. We report a case of infantile fibromatosis of desmoid type occurring in 10 months male child for its extreme rarity.

ABSTRACT

Fibromatosis colli é uma patologia benigna, rara, que se apresenta como uma massa cervical, aparecendo durante as primeiras semanas de vida e freqüentemente associada a torcicolo congênito. É uma lesão fibroblástica que acomete o músculo esternocleidomastóideo, com medidas variando entre 1 e 3cm. Relatamos os casos de três lactentes, dois do sexo masculino e um do feminino, de 30 dias de vida, que apresentavam massa cervical à direita, na projeção do músculo esternocleidomastóideo, medindo, cada, 1,5cm no maior eixo. Foram realizadas punções aspirativas por agulha fina (PAAF), cujos esfregaços mostraram moderado número de fibroblastos isolados e também células multinucleadas, compatíveis com células musculares degeneradas. Nenhum dos casos apresentou processo inflamatório. Os achados citológicos associados ao quadro clínico permitem diagnóstico definitivo e acurado desta patologia, evitando-se uma biópsia cirúrgica, além de proporcionar um início precoce do tratamento conservador que levará à resolução da doença na maioria dos casos.

ABSTRACT

A fin de revisar y divulgar los hallazgos clínicos, imagenológicos y anatomopatológicos de cuatro pacientes con fibromatosis colli (FC) y realizar una puesta al día de esta interesante patología, se revisaron los hallazgos ecográficos y se categorizaron dentro de las 2 formas descriptas en la literatura: Tipo I, hipoecoico homogéneo y Tipo II, parcheado, analizando además la incidencia de antecedentes considerados como factores de riesgo. La ecografía demostró ser un método sumamente útil en el manejo de pacientes con FC, no sólo para su diagnóstico sino también para su seguimiento, demostrando altísima sensibilidad y especificidad. El diagnóstico ecográfico precoz de FC evita la necesidad de recurrir a métodos más complejos y costosos, que pueden requerir sedación, contraste, radiación o procedimientos intervencionistas
