Retropharyngeal tendinitis may be more common than we think: a report on 45 cases seen in Danish chiropractic clinics.

Objective: This study presents information from 45 cases of retropharyngeal tendinitis that were collected in Danish chiropractic clinics.

Methods: A practicing Danish chiropractor collected cases of retropharyngeal tendinitis from colleagues who were members of the Danish Society of Chiropractic and Clinical Biomechanics. Only cases where a patient history of acute severe neck pain, cervical stiffness, and dysphagia were considered, and these were supplemented with imaging in the form of x-rays, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging scans.
