    Abstract:
    Dysphagia with anterior osteophytosis of the cervical bone is a more and more reported affection, especially after the age of 60. However it remains a rare event. The cause to effect relationship between these two entities should be documented by a complete assessment. Surgical treatment is reserved for patients whose medical treatment has failed. We describe an original case of cervical bone osteophytosis which was diagnosed during an acute and febrile aphagia and review the literature about its assessment and treatment.
