Theanteriorapproach to the cervical spine is commonly utilized for a variety of degenerative, neoplastic, traumatic, and infectious indications. The distinctive anatomy of the anterior neck presents a unique set of hazards. We encountered a case of delayed esophageal perforation after cervical spine surgery, who presented to us forty-two days post-surgery.
