@entity6010 presenting with XXXX : report of a case and review of literature.

@entity6010 @entity135 @entity1 @entity954 @entity425 @entity4048 @entity158 @entity1282 @entity4847 @entity4820
@entity6010 rarely occur in the retropharynx with only three cases reported in the current literature. The most common symptom associated with @entity6010 is @entity1282 . We report a @entity6010 with an unusual clinical presentation of @entity135 and @entity158 . A 42-year-old @entity1 presented with incapacitating @entity4048 , @entity135 , @entity425 , as well as @entity1282 . Neurological workup was normal. Imaging revealed a hyperdense, ill-defined, diffuse right retropharyngeal mass suggestive of a possible @entity4847 with no communication with the cervical spine. Surgical removal was uneventful and associated with a postoperative @entity4820 . In follow-up, @entity1282 and neck symptoms improved. @entity6010 can occur in a wide age range of @entity1 . @entity954 via a cervical approach offers definitive therapy but may be associated with an iatrogenic @entity4820 for which the @entity1 should be counseled prior to operative intervention. @entity4048 is an atypical symptom that needs to be worked up to rule out a communication with the spinal column prior to surgical removal. @entity1 must be counseled that atypical symptoms may not completely resolve with surgical treatment.
