A clinical case of upper airway obstruction, dysphagia caused by diffuse idiopathic skeletal hype­rostosis. Russian Bulletin of Otorhinolaryngology. 2025;(4):115-118
Abstract:

Anterior cervical osteophytes are a fairly common X-ray finding in people over 50 years old. Incidence of dysphagia in patients with anterior osteophytes varies from 1% in those aged 40—60 years to 10.6% in patients over 60 years old. The most common causes of anterior cervical hyperosteophytosis causing dysphagia are cervical spondylosis deformans and Forestier disease. We present 2 clinical cases of spondylogenic dysphagia in cervical spondylosis deformans and Forestier disease. The review is devoted to the causes and diagnostic methods for dysphagia caused by anterior cervical osteophytes, as well as surgical options for this pathology.

CONCLUSION

Microsurgical resection of anterior osteophytes is an effective method for dysphagia after ineffective therapy for 3 months. Microsurgical osteophytectomy provides stable regression of dysphagia with low recurrence rate.
