Study Design Retrospective case series. Objective Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) or Forestier disease involves hyperostosis of the spinal column. Hyperostosis involving the anterior margin of the cervical vertebrae can cause dysphonia, dyspnea, and/or dysphagia. However, the natural history pertaining to the risk factors remain unknown. We present the surgical management of two...

Abstract. The site of Khirokitia in Cyprus (7th-early 6th millennium BC) yielded one the largest series human remains for Pre-Pottery Neolithic period Eastern Mediterranean and Near region (MNI = 243). paleopathological study this allowed us to diagnose a probable case diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) affecting male aged between 30 49 years, who also suffered from osteoarthritis....

Published case studies involving diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) along with symptomatic ossification of the stylohyoid ligament, or "Eagle syndrome," are rare. In this report, we document a case of bilateral Eagle syndrome and advanced DISH in the cervical spine of an 80-year-old man who presented with severe neck stiffness and intermittent asphyxia. The key imaging and clinical...

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a condition that causes abnormal bone growth at the sites of ligament insertion, mainly in spine. It unknown etiology and usually affects older males. often asymptomatic, but it can sometimes cause dysphagia if anterior cervical We report case 50-year-old male patient with DISH who presented chronic was diagnosed large osteophyte compressing es...

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis is often incorporated into osteoarthritis. Although DISH often coexists with OA, patients affected by this disorder differ from patients with primary OA in several aspects: prevalence in the general population, gender distribution, anatomic site of primary involvement, magnitude and distribution in the spine and the peripheral joints. DISH is a distinct ...
