概要

論文の詳細を見る
Degenerative changes in the spine can produce osteophytic spurs on the anterior part of the cervical vertebrae. Cervical spondylosis or ankylosing hyperostosis is usually asymptomatic. Dysphagia caused by cervical osteophytic formation is quite rare. The following cases are the reports and reviews of the literature with striking radiographic findings. Their ages were little younger than previous reports and all were male patients. A massive anterior cervical osteophyte was resected without discectomy and fusion via the anterior approach followed by excellent relief of symptoms.
