Abstract

Cervical osteophytes are an uncommon cause of dysphagia. This typically affects the elderly population. Dysphagia is primarily attributable to the location of the osteophytes, typically by impairing mobility of the epiglottis and/or the opening of the upper esophageal sphincter. While the vast majority of patients are asymptomatic, patients with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis and multifactorial dysphagia can be significantly symptomatic leading to weight loss and aspiration. Multiple treatment options can be used including observation, swallow therapy, endoscopic partial epiglottidectomy, transoral removal of the osteophytes, and transcervical resection.
