description | A 51‐year‐old afebrile man visited the hospital with acute severe neck pain with stiff neck, but cervical CT showed no calcification around the odontoid process. Cervical MRI revealed prevertebral hyperintense area of edema at the C1‐C5 vertebral bodies, providing the diagnosis of retropharyngeal calcific tendinitis.
