Cervical osteophytes are bone spurs that grow on any part of the cervical spine. Osteophytesin the spine are a normal sign of aging and can be associated with conditions such as degenerativedisc diseases, osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, and others. When cervical osteophytes becomelarge enough, main symptoms can include neck pain, radicular pain, neurological problems,and sometimes dysphagia, as well as hoarseness in rare cases. The authors report a caseof left vocal cord palsy in a 75-year-old male patient with a large cervical osteophyte with aleft anterior protrusion in the C5/C6 level.
