A Rare Cause of Dysphagia: Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis

Abstract

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis syndrome (DISH) is enchondral ossification of the paravertebral ligaments which is independent of trauma, infection and degenerative events and without a definitive known etiology. Although other bones can be involved, mostly vertebral involvement is seen. Diagnosis depends on radiological examination. In patients with cervical involvement, difficulty in swallowing, neck movements and inspriation can be seen. Here in, we will report a 63 year old man who examined for dysphagia and diagnosed as DISH. Key words: Diffuse; İdiopathic; Skeletal; Hyperostosis; Dysphagia.

Keywords

• Diffuse; İdiopathic; Skeletal; Hyperostosis; Dysphagia.

Disfajinin Nadir Bir Sebebi; Diffüz İdiopatik İskelet Hiperostozisi

Öz

Diffüz idiopatik iskelet hiperosteozisi etiyolojisi kesin olarak bilinmeyen travmatik, post enfeksiyöz ve dejeneratif olaylardan bağımsız olarak paravertebral ligamanların enkondral ossifikasyonu ile karakterize bir hastalıktır. Vücutta bir çok kemik tutulumu olabilir fakat en sık tutulum vertebralardadır. Tanısı primer olarak radyolojiktir. Servikal vertebra tutulumu olan hastalarda yutma güçlüğü boyun hareketlerinde kısıtlılık ses kısıklığı ve nefes almada zorluk şikayetleri olabilir. Biz bu makalede 63 yaşında disfaji nedeniyle değerlendirdiğimiz ve diffüz idiopatik iskelet hiperosteozis tanısı konulan bir vakayı sunduk. Anahtar kelimeler: Diffüz; İdiopatik; İskelet; Hiperosteozis; Disfaji.
