Pre-cervical soft tissues: a cautionary note.
Visualization of pre-cervical soft tissue swelling on a lateral radiograph is an important indicator of possible bony injury in the context of cervical spine trauma. We report a case where apparent swelling was in fact an artefact due to an inappropriately placed endotracheal tube. We recommend review of the position of endotracheal tubes when interpreting pre-cervical soft tissue swelling.
