Abstract

Cervical osteophytes and other hypertrophic changes of the cervical spine may lead to dysphagia, odynophagia, otalgia, and sensation of a foreign body in the throat when they protrude from the anterior edge of the cervical vertebrae to the pharynx or upper esophagus. A fifty-three-year-old male patient presented with a complaint of dysphagia. Physical examination showed no abnormality. Barium esophagography revealed osteophytic spurs in the anterior aspect of C4-s vertebrae, in close approximation to the inlet of esophagus, obstructing the esophagus passage by external compression. Antiinflammatory therapy administered for three weeks did not provide relief of the patient's complaint. Surgical treatment recommended was refused by the patient.

Özet

Servikal osteofit ve servikal bölgedeki diğer hipertrofik değişiklikler, servikal vertebranm ön kenarından farenkse ve üst özofagusa doğru büyüme gösterdiklerinde disfaji, odinofaji, otalji ve boğazda yabancı cisim hissi gibi semptomlara neden olabilirler. Kliniğimize disfaji şikayeti ile başvuran 53 yaşındaki erkek hastanın fizik muayenesinde herhangi bir lezyon görülmedi. Baryumlu özofagogramda, servikal 4-5 vertebra anteriorunda, yaklaşık olarak özofagus giriş kısmına denk gelen bölgede, özofagus pasajını daraltan osteofitik lezyon belirlendi. Uygulanan üç haftalık antienflamatuvar tedavi sonrası şikayetlerin düzelmemesi üzerine hastaya cerrahi tedavi önerildi; ancak hasta cerrahi tedaviyi kabul etmedi.
