    Abstract:
    This 79-year-old man had a several-year history of dysphagia. On presentation, he spoke with difficulty but was not short of breath, and hemoptysis was present. A 17-mm osteophyte anterior to C3-C4 encroached on the posterior aspect of the oral pharynx and esophagus. The patient underwent C3-C6 anterior ostectomy; recovery was complete within 4 weeks.
