title: An unusual case of neck pain.
abstract: The complaint of nontraumatic neck pain in a pediatric patient without fever or any other symptoms is unusual and can be very challenging. We present the case of a 4-year-old boy with imaging consistent with a rare diagnosis. This report discusses this diagnosis as well as the utility of advanced imaging and laboratory evaluations in the presentation of pediatric neck pain.
