Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis with dysphagia

Abstract: Dysphagia due to cervical osteophytes is not common. However, diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) with cervical involvement which causes dysphagia is even rarer. The otolaryngologist is not generally familiar with this entity. The diagnosis can be made by plain cervical X-ray films, a barium swallowing esophagogram and or a CT scan of the neck. When doubt still exists, further extra-axial X-ray films can be helpful. Although most patients have been treated surgically, there may be a role for conser… Show more

“…Thus, it may give rise to cervical myelopathy (Goto et al, 1995) or thoracic cord compression as a result of spinal stenosis (Wilson & Jaspan, 1990), sometimes causing sudden paraplegia requiring urgent treatment by laminectomy (Johnsson et al, 1983). DISH may also cause dysphagia (Eviatar & Harell, 1987) and laryngeal oedema with severe dyspnoea necessitating emergency tracheotomy (Marks et al, 1998).…”

“…Se trata de una enfermedad reumatológica sistémica que implica la existencia de una calcificación llamativa del LLCA y ausencia de otros cambios degenerativos 18 . Los síntomas más comunes en la enfermedad de Forestier cervical son la disfagia y, menos frecuentemente, la disnea, secundarios éstos a una compresión mecánica del esófago y la tráquea 5,8,10 . La asociación de la enfermedad de Forestier y déficit neurológico significativo se ha publicado en raras ocasiones, debido éste a una estenosis del canal espinal cervical o torácico 12,36 provocada por la proliferación fibrosa del ligamento amarillo, de origen aún incierto.…”

“…Cuando está implicada la columna cervical, la disfagia es el síntoma de presentación más común, descrita por primera vez por Mosher en 1926 20 ; rara vez la disfagia está causada por osteofitos anteriores en la columna dorsal 38,39,40 . Aproximadamente el 30% de pacientes refieren dificultad para la deglución 15 y el 10% requieren intervención quirúrgica 5,8,10,18,30 . Es inusual la presencia de síntomas neurológicos; sin embargo, se ha descrito compromiso de raíces nerviosas y médula espinal 1,17,31,43 , atrapamiento de nervios periféricos 36 , síndrome del desfiladero torácico 36 , síndrome de Horner 32 , parálisis del nervio recurrente laríngeo 3,14 e insuficiencia arterial vertebral atribuidos a la misma.…”
