Özet
Diffuse idiophatic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is characterized with calcification and ossification of soft tissues, especially enthesitis points, ligaments and the joint capsule. Dysphagia or cervical myelopathy may be seen in the cases of DISH with cervical spine involvement. In association with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament it can result in myelopathy and sometimes quadriplegia. Surgical interventions are rarely necessary for exceptional complications such as osteophytic dysphagia or spinal stenosis. In this article, we report a 62-year-old male patient with DISH with increased dysphagia, stiffness in neck and weakness of upper extremity for 1.5 years, who was operated three times. Despite redo surgeries, the symptoms repeated two to three months after the surgery.
