Abstract
|
|
|
Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH), also known as Forestier`s disease, is a common disorder characterized
by ossification and calcification of soft tissues such as the enthuses and joint capsules, particularly affecting
the spine. Symptoms range from negligible back discomfort to, less commonly, debilitating dysphagia and
airway disturbances. This condition affects approximately 3-30% of men older than 50 years of age. We report
a case of a patient with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis presented with headache.
