Neck pain is common in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). We investigated the correlation of bone marrow edema (BME) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in RA and AS and its association with clinical complaints of neck pain.
Cervical spine short-tau inversion recovery-MRI and
OBJECTIVE
To determine the reliability and feasibility of a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) score to quantify bone marrow edema (BME), synovitis, and erosions in the cervical spine of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA); and to investigate the correlations among neck pain, clinical markers
BACKGROUND
Zygapophyseal joint injury and inflammation have been proposed as causes of acute benign spinal pain, but this etiology has not been investigated.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the presence of periarticular tissue inflammation and zygapophysial joint synovitis in the cervical region using
Intervertebral disk calcification in children is an uncommon self-limiting disease, which can cause symptoms like neck pain or torticollis, and can be treated with conservative management. The calcified disk material can herniate anteriorly, inducing dysphagia, or herniate posteriorly, causing
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the frequency and clinical significance of bone marrow edema (BME) in a series of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and symptomatic involvement of the cervical spine.
METHODS
We studied 19 consecutive RA patients with cervical spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
METHODS
A 68-year-old woman with known degenerative joint disease suffered from increasing neck pain. Physical examination revealed painfully restricted movement of the cervical spine.
METHODS
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein were increased. Tests for rheumatoid factors,
OBJECTIVE
The objective was to assess the impact of electrocautery on complications in adenoidectomy. We sought to quantify cautery-related temperature changes in prevertebral fascia that may occur during the procedure, retrospectively evaluate the incidence of cautery-related complications, and
The longus colli muscle has three major parts that originate and insert in the upper cervical and thoracic spine. It is a weak flexor of the neck, and when contracted also serves to rotate the neck to the ipsilateral side. It is innervated by the anterior rami of the C2-C6 spinal nerves and receives
BACKGROUND
Overlooking an etiologic hypothesis in acute neck pain with dysphagia may lead to misdiagnosis.
METHODS
A 51-year-old man who had received cervical manipulation came to the emergency unit with evolutive acute neck pain, cervical spine stiffness and odynophagia, without fever or other
Neck pain is frequent and can be a symptom of numerous differential diagnoses with quite different diagnostic and therapeutic consequences. A 37-year-old woman reported acute neck pain aggravated by movements of the cervical spine and head and by swallowing. Clinical examination showed pronounced
BACKGROUND
Neck pain is a common musculoskeletal problem that up to 70% of the world population will experience at some point in their lives. Intramedullary spinal cord metastasis is an exceedingly rare complication of malignancy that affects less than 1% of all patients with cancer.
METHODS
We
Background: Acute calcific longus colli tendinitis is a rare, noninfectious inflammatory condition caused by the deposition of calcium crystals. The condition is self-limiting, yet commonly misdiagnosed. Here we report a case of a patient
Kawasaki disease with retropharyngeal edema (KD with RPE) is a rare complication, and it is diagnosed by neck CT. Most reported cases had a delayed diagnosis because those patients' conditions were misdiagnosed as retropharyngeal abscess (RPA). The purpose of this study was to differentiate KD with
The diagnosis and management of a 28-year-old obese woman who presented with neck pain, headache, and rapidly progressive visual loss is discussed here. Results of her initial general examination were normal. Thorough medical follow-up resulted in a rare diagnosis.
