A 4-year-old boy presents with stiffness and pain in his neck for the last two days following a motor vehicle accident. He reports hitting his head against the headrest of his seat after the car his mother was driving was involved in a rear-end collision. His neck movement was restricted and painful in all directions. Additionally, he had severe tenderness after palpation of the cervical spine region. His neurological examination was normal. Plain radiographs showed flattening of the normal lordotic curvature of the cervical spine. Cervical computerized tomography (CT) of C1-C7 demonstrated no signs of fracture; however, prevertebral spaces were widened and soft tissue mass of 10 mm was compressing the trachea between C1 and C4. Cervical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed diffuse edema on T2-weighted sagittal and axial obliterating the left retropharyngeal space and causing significant pharyngeal airway narrowing, consistent with a retropharyngeal hematoma. 1) Given the presence and location of the hematoma in the retropharyngeal space what muscle has MOST likely developed a hematoma as a result of the injury?
