Article Abstract
Cervical spondylosis and ankylosing hyperostosis of the cervical vertebrae are commonly asymptomatic.Dysphagia caused by cervical osteophyte formation is rare.We report a case of spondylotic dysphagia with striking radiographic findings.A massive anterior cervical hyperostosis was resected via the anterior cervical approach with excellent relief of dysphagia.
