Giant anterior cervical osteophytes leading to dysphagia in a patient with
2
diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis
3
A 64-year-old female patient was referred to our radiology department with the
5
complaints of severe neck pain and difficulty swallowing for five years. She had no
6
history of trauma to the neck. Endoscopic examination revealed a protrusion located
7
through the posterior wall of the oro-hypopharynx. The initial diagnosis was an oro-
8
hypopharyngeal neoplasm and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging was performed.
9
MR imaging of the neck showed giant anterior osteophytes without spinal cord
10
compression and bulging of the posterior oro-hypopharyngeal wall (Fig. 1).
11
Computed tomography (CT) of the cervical spine demonstrated anterior longitudinal
12
ligament hypertrophy with giant anterior osteophytes (Fig. 1).
