title: Osteomyelitis of the cervical spine following laryngectomy.
abstract: Only one case of osteomyelitis of the cervical spine following laryngectomy for carcinoma of the larynx has been reported in the literature to date. We report an unusual case of osteomyelitis of the cervical spine following treatment of laryngeal carcinoma by radiotherapy (RT) and subsequent laryngectomy and discuss the relevant literature.
