Forestier disease or diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is an uncommon cause of dysphagia. Due to rarity of this condition there is neither any demographic data nor any consensus about the investigation and treatment modalities. Here an effort is made in the present article to compile the information regarding the demographic and clinical features, investigation modalities and different methods of treatment from all the available case reports of dysphagia due to Forestier disease in the English literature till date.

“…16,18–22) Conversely, some other studies have found that aspiration pneumonia may occur after removal of the osteophytes, implying that surgery is not effective 23) Therefore, as yet, there is no unified consensus. In the present case, the patient improved from FILS Level 2 to Level 7 as a result of conservative intervention with dysphagia rehabilitation, and became capable of eating semi-solid food by means of postural adjustment.…”

A 79-year-old man was diagnosed with left thalamic hemorrhage. On admission, the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) motor score was 13 points, and the Food Intake Level Scale (FILS) was Level 2, with the patient needing enteral nutrition. Six months after stroke onset, the FIM motor score had improved to 38 points and the dysphagia to FILS Level 7. The patient was able to ingest easy-to-swallow food orally three times a day, but only after postural adjustment with rotation of the head. Seven months after stroke onset, the FIM motor score had reached 45 points but without further improvement in swallowing function. Videofluoroscopic swallowing evaluation (VF) revealed that the persistence of dysphagia was due to osteophytes on the cervical vertebrae caused by diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis. On surgical removal of the osteophytes, swallowing function improved to FILS Level 9; the patient was able to ingest normal food in a seated position without postural adjustment. One year after stroke onset, the patient was discharged with an FIM motor score of 59 points and FILS Level 9. At the 2-year follow-up, there was minimal recurrence of the osteophytes, and both motor and swallowing functions were maintained at the same level as at discharge. This case suggests that dysphagia in elderly patients may be due to multiple disorders, and that surgical intervention may occasionally be effective.

Forestier sendromu (yaygın idiyopatik iskelet hiperostozu) en az dört omur boyunca devam eden omurların ön-yan kesimlerinin ossifikasyonu ile karakterize bir klinik tablodur. Etyolojisi tam olarak bilinmemektedir. Tanı radyolojik incelemelerle konur. Bu çalışmada yutma güçlüğü, boyun ağrısı ve nefes darlığı yakınmaları ile kliniğimize başvuran Forestier sendromlu bir olgu sunuldu. Tanı radyolojik incelemelerle kondu. Olgunun klinik ve radyolojik özellikleri literatür verileri eşliğinde tartışıldı.Anahtar Sözcükler: Yutma güçlüğü; Forestier sendromu; radyolojik inceleme.Forestier's syndrome (diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis) is characterized by ossification of the anterolateral aspect of at least four contiguous vertebral bodies. The exact etiology is unclear. Diagnosis is made by radiologic examinations. In this report, we present a case of Forestier's syndrome who admitted with complaints of dysphagia, cervical pain and dyspnea. The diagnosis was based on radiological examinations. Clinic and radiological characteristics of our case were discussed in the light of literature data.
