RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Oropharyngeal dysphagia as an uncommon manifestation of an osteoarticular disease JF BMJ Case Reports JO BMJ Case Reports FD BMJ Publishing Group Ltd SP e227411 DO 10.1136/bcr-2018-227411 VO 12 IS 1 A1 Joana Maria Soares Ferreira A1 Pedro Oliveira A1 Antonio Faria Almeida A1 Artur Condé YR 2019 UL http://casereports.bmj.com/content/12/1/e227411.abstract AB We report a case of a 76-year-old Caucasian woman who was referred to our department due to progressive dysphagia. We performed a flexible nasofibrolaryngoscopy that demonstrated the presence of a non-pulsatile mass in the right posterior wall of the hypopharynx. Cervical CT scan revealed that the mass represented a bulging of the hypopharynx wall produced by osteophytes along the cervical segment (C3–C4 and C4–C5) of the rachis. The patient was successfully treated with conservative measures with progressive improvement of dysphagia. This case highlights that anterior cervical osteophytosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of oropharyngeal dysphagia.
