Abstract:
Two cases of osteomyelitis of the cervical spine complicating tracheo-oesophageal puncture are reported. There was considerable delay between onset of symptoms and diagnosis in both cases due to pre-existing cervical arthritis. Previous radiotherapy was felt to be a contributory factor in both cases.
