RESUMO
La tendinitis calcificante prevertebral es una causa poco frecuente de cervicalgia aguda, caracterizada por la identificación de calcificaciones a nivel de C1-C2 y, la presencia de una colección líquida en el espacio prevertebral, que ocasiona un desplazamiento de la línea radiográfica prevertebral en los estudios de imagen. Resulta de gran importancia identificar esta rara entidad, benigna y autolimitada, y no confundirla con otros procesos que erróneamente propiciasen actitudes terapéuticas inadecuadas (AU)
Prevertebral calcific tendinitis is an uncommon cause of acute neck pain characterized by the identification of calcifications at C1-C2 level and the presence of a liquid collection at the prevertebral space which causes the displacement of the prevertebral radiographic line in imaging studies. It is very important to identify this rare, benign and self-limiting pathology, in order not to confuse it with other diseases that could erroneously lead to inappropriate treatment (AU)
