Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis: Forestier's disease.
Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) or Forestier's disease is characterized by calcification and ossification of soft tissue entheses of ligaments and tendons. DISH is believed to be a variant of osteoarthritis (OA) without the degenerative intervertebral disc and joint degenerative qualities seen in classic OA. The likely pathoetiologic causes of DISH are presented.
متن کاملExtraspinal manifestations of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis.
DISH is a condition characterized by calcification and/or ossification of soft tissues, mainly entheses, ligaments and joint capsules. Its prevalence increases with age and, therefore, DISH is a relatively common entity in the elderly. The classical site of involvement is the spinal column with right anterolateral soft tissue ossification being the most characteristic feature. However, DISH is ...
متن کاملDiffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis. A case report.
Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis is a disease of old age, in which there is bony proliferation of spine in ventral and lateral aspects of vertebral body. A 80-years-old male presented to us with features of low back pain radiating along the right lower limb in the posterolateral aspect. After examination and investigations, he was found to have metabolic syndrome, degenerative lumbar di...
متن کاملDiffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH): Forestier's disease with extraspinal manifestations.
The extraspinal manifestations of Forestier's disease are described in 21 consecutive cases; diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is suggested as a more appropriate description of this ossifying diathesis. Characteristic roentgen abnormalities of the spine were present in all individuals and associated with significant axial clinical complaints. In extraspinal locations, hyperostosis...
متن کاملCompression Fractures in the Setting of Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis
Compression fractures are the most common vertebral fractures. They involve the anterior column of the spine, and are considered stable fractures due to the presence of intact posterior ligaments that aid in resisting further collapse and deformity. They are thus often managed conservatively. We describe a series of 3 cases that were initially diagnosed as compression fractures and managed cons...
