Abstract
This 80-year-old woman presented with acute breathing difficulty during neck flexion when cyanosis also developed. The only potential causes were detected on cervical magnetic resonance imaging: two large anterior cervical osteophytes compressing the retropharyngeal space. Excision of these osteophytes resulted in resolution of the symptoms.Entities:
