    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Dysphagia caused by cervical spondylosis osteophytes is rare but treatable. Barium swallows reveal key diagnostic features of these bone spurs, aiding surgical success.

    Area of Science:

    • Degenerative spine conditions
    • Gastrointestinal disorders
    • Radiological imaging

    Background:

    • Cervical spondylosis is common, but dysphagia due to osteophyte formation is rare.
    • Fewer than 100 cases of cervical osteophyte-induced dysphagia have been documented.
    • Diagnosis via barium swallow has received limited attention.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of dysphagia secondary to cervical osteophytes were surgically treated with positive outcomes.
    • One patient experienced associated respiratory obstruction upon neck flexion.
    • Radiological features on barium studies included anterior-posterior and lateral projection deformities at the osteophyte site.

    Findings:

    • Barium swallows demonstrated characteristic deformities at the level of cervical osteophyte formation.

  • Potential complications include tracheal aspiration and impaired epiglottic retroversion.
  • Surgical intervention yielded good results for the presented cases.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the diagnostic utility of barium swallows for cervical osteophyte-induced dysphagia.
    • Emphasizes the importance of considering osteophytes in unexplained dysphagia.
    • Suggests surgical treatment as an effective option for this uncommon condition.
