Abstract
Oesophageal perforation following anterior cervical fixation has been reported in the neurosurgical and orthopaedic literature as a rare complication of such procedure. The complications associated with oesophageal perforation may range from minor symptoms to mediastinitis and death. We report two oesophageal perforations following cervical fixation device migration in patients with poor prognosis, managed successfully with conservative surgical and endoscopic techniques.Entities:
