Cervical osteomyelitis and cord compression complicating pharyngeal myotomy
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 June 2007
Abstract
Cervical spine osteomyelitis is rare. Haematogenous spread is the usual method by which organisms reach the spine. A review of the English literature reveals very few reported cases of local spread of infection to the spine. Here we present the case of a 68-year-old woman with cervical spine osteomyelitis and cord compression complicating pharyngeal myotomy.
