Anterior cervical disc herniation is rare, causing esophageal issues. This condition may contribute to the development of anterior cervical osteophytes, a known cause of dysphagia.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Spinal Surgery

Background:

  • Extrinsic esophageal lesions can present with dysphagia.
  • Anterior cervical disc herniation is an uncommon condition.
  • Anterior cervical osteophytes causing dysphagia are a recognized clinical entity.

Observation:

  • A 39-year-old male presented with an extrinsic esophageal lesion.
  • The lesion was attributed to an anterior herniation of a degenerated cervical disc.
  • Only two prior cases of symptomatic anterior cervical disc herniation have been documented.

Findings:

  • This case highlights a rare instance of symptomatic anterior cervical disc herniation.
  • The herniated disc presented as an extrinsic esophageal lesion.

Related Experiment Videos

  • The findings suggest a potential link between asymptomatic disc herniation and osteophyte formation.

    • Implications:

    • Recognizing anterior cervical disc herniation is crucial for diagnosing rare causes of dysphagia.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the role of asymptomatic disc herniation in cervical osteophyte pathogenesis.
    • This case expands the differential diagnosis for extrinsic esophageal compression by spinal pathology.
