Longus colli tendinitis (LCT) has been described in several case reports, and is likely underdiagnosed due to its non-specific symptoms and self-limiting nature. It usually presents as acute neck pain with retropharyngeal swelling seen on nasoendoscopy and imaging studies. This may lead to unnecessary invasive interventions if physicians are unaware of the disease course. We discuss a case of LCT in a young woman who was treated at our institution, with recommendations on how to identify and treat such cases accurately without overtreatment.

Deep neck flexor (DNF) muscles contribute to cervical stability and proprioception. Reduced muscle strength and endurance lead to faulty movement patterns, muscle imbalances, and dysfunction. Potentially, the orofacial muscles contribute to cervical strength by providing stability through muscular connections.

Background: The precise manner in which morphological and mechanical properties of cervical muscles in patients with fibromyalgia and migraine are affected remains unclear.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare the morphological and mechanical properties of cervical muscles in individuals diagnosed with fibromyalgia who also experience migraine headaches with those who do not.
Methods: The study included two groups of fibromyalgia patients: one with migraine (n = 18, age = 44.
