Abstract EN
Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is usually asymptomatic.
However, rarely, it causes dysphagia, hoarseness, dyspnea, snoring, stridor, and laryngeal edema.
Herein, we present a patient with DISH causing dysphagia.
A 70-year-old man presented with a 4-month history of sore throat, dysphagia, and foreign body sensation.
Flexible laryngoscopy revealed a leftward-protruding posterior wall in the hypopharynx.
Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a bony mass pushing, anteriorly, on the posterior hypopharyngeal wall.
Ossification included an osseous bridge involving 5 contiguous vertebral bodies.
Dysphagia due to DISH was diagnosed.
His symptoms were relieved by conservative therapy using anti-inflammatory drugs.
However, if conservative therapy fails and symptoms are severe, surgical treatments must be considered.
