Osteophytes of the cervical spine are usually seen in elderly adults. When prominent, they have been blamed for @entity1282 , cough, @entity7364 and dyspnoea. This paper reports on an @entity27 ( @entity27 ) @entity1 with cervical spinal @entity5040 , one cause of @entity1224 . A 75-year-old male complained of pronounced snoring.

Previously, @entity1 underwent a tonsillectomy due to discomfort in the pharyngeal region. A lateral cephalometric image was taken to observe airway before oral appliance therapy. The image revealed the presence of large @entity5040 or @entity627 , lying on anterior surfaces from the fourth to seventh cervical vertebrae. A computed tomography (CT) image revealed the relationship of airway position to the spine. In the reconstructed three-dimensional (3D) image, the airway appeared displaced to the right of the craniomandiblar bone, with the hyoid bone similarly displaced in a manner to that of the airway. The spine also appeared displaced to the left side ofcraniomandiblar bone. Additionally, the 3D image revealed calcification of the stylohyoideum ligament and ligamentum nuchae. This present case highlights the necessity of CT examination for @entity27 @entity1 . There were several ligament calcifications in the head and neck region. Cervical spine @entity5040 , as a component of @entity5039 , have been associated with @entity1282 and @entity7364 . It was reported that bilateral @entity3746 was caused by @entity5040 compressing the post-cricoid area of larynx.
