Mar 19, 2025 · Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH), also known as Forestier disease, is a common condition characterized by bony proliferation at sites of tendinous and ligamentous insertion. It primarily affects the spine of older individuals.

DISH, in this case, can be considered as an incidental finding and patients symptoms are probably caused by degenerative changes of the cervical spine and possible insufficiency of vertebral circulation.

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a condition where there is flowing ossification of the anterior longitudinal ligament involving the thoracic spine and enthesopathy (e.g. at the iliac crest, ischial tuberosities, and greater trochanters).

Diffuse Idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a bone-forming diathesis primarily affecting the spine, with ossification of tendons and ligaments.

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a non-inflammatory spondyloarthropathy. The radiological imaging findings are characteristic, although have to be differentiated from other spondyloarthropathies.

Diffuse Idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a bone-forming spinal disease, with ossification of tendons and ligaments. There are however several extraspinal manifestations and in the pelvis there may be hyperostosis at ligamentous attachments as seen in this case.

In this case, the ossification involves six contagious vertebrae (more than three contagious vertebrae) with almost preserved disc spaces are characteristic features of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH). These findings are shown on both the MRI and the lateral cervical spine radiograph.

X-rays, CT and MRI of a patient demonstrating changes consistent with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) as well as thoracic ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL).
