It includes the prevertebral muscles (longus colli and longus capitis), vertebral artery, vertebral vein, scalene muscles, phrenic nerve and part of the brachial plexus. [3] In trauma, an increased thickness of the prevertebral space is a sign of injury, and can be measured with medical imaging. [4]
In addition, indirect signs of injury by the vertebral column are incongruities of the vertebral lines, [11] and/or increased thickness of the prevertebral space: [12] X-ray of normal congruous vertebral lines
A computed tomography (CT) scan is the definitive diagnostic imaging test. [4] X-ray of the neck often (80% of the time) shows swelling of the retropharyngeal space in affected individuals. If the retropharyngeal space is more than half of the size of the C2 vertebra, it may indicate retropharyngeal abscess. [5]

Inferiorly, the prevertebral layer blends with the endothoracic fascia peripherally and fuses with the anterior longitudinal ligament centrally at approximately the level of the T3 vertebra. Due to this, the superior extent of the retropharyngeal space is essentially continuous with the root of the neck, and is termed the danger space.

The posterior triangle is crossed, about 2.5 cm above the clavicle, by the inferior belly of the omohyoid muscle, which divides the space into two triangles: an upper or occipital triangle; a lower or subclavian triangle (or supraclavicular triangle)
