Case study 60 - DISH-phagia • Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a rheumatologic disease which can cause cervical osteophytes and lead to otolaryngological symptoms such as difficulty in swallowing, difficulty in breathing and loss of weight. Primarily involved structure is the anterior longitudinal ligament, ossification and calcification of which result in osteophyte formation. Dysphagia due to DISH involving the cervical spine is relatively unusual (17% of patients with DISH). DISH is characterized by calcification and ossification of anterior longitudinal ligament of the spine and various extra-spinal ligaments. The etiology of DISH is unknown. Positive associations include diabetes, obesity, hypertension, gout and Dupuytrens contractures. • Subscribe to keep the case studies coming! / @ladyspinedoc sub_confirmation=1 • #neurosurgery #casestudy #sundaycasestudy #ladyspinedoc #neckpain #dysphagia #cervicalspine #dish #diffuseidiopathicskeletalhyperostosis #forestierdisease #swallowingproblem #healthcareworker #hospital #surgery #neurosurgeon #medicalschool #medstudent #medicalstudent #nursing #pastudent #paschool #nursingschool • #learnonyoutube
