ABSTRACT
Anterior cervical approaches to the cervical spine have been widely and safely used in spine surgery in recent years; however, they also have posed some otorhinolaryngological complications. We present a case of suspension laryngoscope assisting in the removal of a cervical screw. The patient was a 63-years-old man who was operated on traumatic cervical herniated disc. Surgical interference included C5 corpectomy, iliac bone autograft, anterior cervical fusion at C4-C6 level using an anterior cervical plate and screws. Five years later, he presented a foreign body sensation in the neck and odynophagia. The laryngoscopic exam showed the medial wall of the right pyriform sinus protrusion and the migration of an upper screw was observed in plain films and computed tomography of the cervical spine. The suspenson laryngoscope and C-arm fluoroscope were used for the transpharyngeal screw removal. The removal of the screw in question was successful with no complications. We report this case with a review of the literature.
