Abstract

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis is a chronic entesopathy which causes excessive formation of osteophytes along the ventral spine in the absence of degenerative, traumatic and inflammatory pathologies of spinal ligaments or paravertebral muscles. Dysphagia is the most common symptom of this disease which may need surgical management. In this article, we report three cases with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis treated in our department. The clinical and diagnostic imaging characteristics along with treatments performed and outcomes of these three patients were described. Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis is an idiopathic rheumatological disorder which may need surgical treatments in severe forms of the disease.

Diffüz İdiopatik İskelet Hiperostozisi: Disfajinin Nöroşirurjikal Sebebi

Abstract

Diffüz idiyopatik iskelet hiperostozisi, spinal ligamanlar veya paravertebral kasların dejeneratif, travmatik ve inflamatuar patolojileri olmaksızın ventral omurga boyunca osteofitlerin aşırı oluşumuna neden olan kronik bir entesopatidir. Disfaji bu hastalığın en sık görülen ve cerrahi tedavi gerektirebilen semptomudur. Bu makalede, kliniğimizde diffüz idiyopatik iskelet hiperostozisi nedeniyle tedavi uygulanan üç vaka sunulmaktadır. Bu üç hastanın klinik ve tanısal görüntüleme özellikleri ile uygulanan tedaviler ve sonuçları değerlendirildi. Diffüz idiyopatik iskelet hiperostozisi, hastalığın ağır formlarında cerrahi tedavi gerektirebilen idiyopatik romatolojik bir hastalıktır.
