Dysphagia Due to Anterior Cervical Spine Osteophyte: A Case Report

Introduction: Degenerative changes of the cervical spine are more common in elderly, but anterior cervical osteophytes that cause problems in swallowing are rare. The most common cause of this problem is DISH disease (diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis). Trauma is also suggested as a potential cause in osteophyte formation. Case Report: We report a rare case of anterior cervical osteop...

Charcot Spine after Remote Cervical Spine Injury

Charcot spine, also known as neuropathic spinal arthropathy and Charcot spinal arthropathy, is a rare and potentially devastating consequence of spinal cord injury. The degeneration seen in patients with Charcot spine occurs secondary to the loss of innervation to the spinal facet joints [1]. The most common cause is traumatic spinal cord injury, though syphilitic tabes dorsalis frequently seen...

epidemiology of cervical spine fractures

conclusions this study demonstrated that most victims of csfx in our region are 16 to 40 years of age. a male predominance was observed, and motor vehicle collisions were the most frequent trauma mechanism leading to cervical spine injury (mostly due to car rollover accidents), with falls as the second most frequent. the rate of sci in our study was 3.62% of all cases and the mortality rate was...

Hydatid Disease of the Cervical Spine Mimicking Traumatic Burst Fracture

Background & Importance: Hydatid disease of the spine is rare but constitutes approximately 50% of bone involvement cases in human hydatidosis. It is a severe condition associated with a high rate of morbidity, disability and mortality. Case Presentation: In the present paper, we report an intriguing case of cervical spinal hydatid disease mimicking traumatic burst fracture. Con...
