The swallowing function of ten patients showing marked cervical osteophytes were studied by double contrast pharyngogram and manometric examinations. In five cases in which the pharyngeal clearance was B type according to Shuzaki's classification, a significant increase in the maximal swallowing pressure value on the oral side ipsilateral to the osteophytes was often observed. In five cases in which the pharyngeal clearance showed A + A' type (marked impairment), the frequency of significantly decreased maximal swallowing pressure on the oral side ipsilateral to the osteophytes and abnormal waveforms of the swallowing pressure were high. However, no definite correlation was noted between these changes in swallowing function and osteophyte site. Therefore, there are two possible outcomes of the changes in swallowing function caused by cervical osteophytes: one is a compensatory increase in pharyngeal constriction aimed at maintaining relatively good pharyngeal clearance, the other is impaired pharyngeal constriction and the pharyngeal clearance. These changes in swallowing function would impact on globus sensation.
