Abstract

Read online

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a common but underdiagnosed systemic skeletal disease. It is characterized by calcifications affecting mainly the spinal anterior longitudinal ligament. In the majority of cases, the patients are asymptomatic, but cervical osteophytes can sometimes cause hoarseness, dysphagia (DISHphagia) and even dyspnea.
