ABSTRACT
Degenerative diseases of the cervical spine are common in elderly
patients. The authors present a case report of female, 44 years old,
with progressive dysphagia due to anterior cervical osteophytes (C5-
C6 and C6-C7). Esophagogram showed esophageal compression by
anterior osteophytes. The treatment was removal of osteophytes
by drill, cervical discectomy on two levels and cervical arthrodesis,
resulting in complete remission of symptoms. Although it is an un-
common cause of dysphagia, osteophytes should be included in the
GL΍HUHQWLDOGLDJQRVLVEHFDXVHLWLVDWUHDWDEOHDQGUHYHUVLEOHFDXVHRI
the symptom.
Key words: osteophyte; dysphagia; spinal diseases; cervical verte-
brae.
