    An anterior herniated disc in the low cervical spine can cause difficulty swallowing and an esophageal defect. This condition should be considered in the differential diagnosis of extrinsic esophageal abnormalities.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Cervical herniated intervertebral discs typically present with neck pain and radiculopathy.
    • Dysphagia is an uncommon symptom associated with cervical disc herniation.

    Observation:

    • A case of anterior herniated intervertebral disc at the low cervical level is presented.
    • The herniated disc caused significant dysphagia.

    Findings:

    • Barium swallow revealed an extrinsic impression on the esophagus, mimicking other esophageal pathologies.
    • The impression was directly attributable to the anteriorly located cervical disc herniation.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights a rare cause of dysphagia and extrinsic esophageal defects.

  • Anterior low cervical disc herniation should be included in the differential diagnosis for extrinsic esophageal abnormalities on imaging.
  • Awareness of this presentation can aid in timely diagnosis and appropriate patient management.
