  • Title: Cervical spondylosis and dysphagia.
    Author: Umerah BC, Mukherjee BK, Ibekwe O.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 1981 Nov; 95(11):1179-83. PubMed ID: 7299268.
    Abstract:
    Spondylosis can lead to dysphagia in the elderly. In these patients pressure of solid food on the osteophytes very probably induces pain and cricopharyngeal spasm, and a transient sharp cut-off is seen in the barium column at fluoroscopy. Three cases are presented and it is suggested that this triad should be looked for in all elderly patients with cervical spondylosis.
