We report the case of progressive dysphagia and neck pain due to DISH of the cervical spine in a 70-year-old man, which was surgically removed with excellent postoperative results and complete resolution of symptoms. Imaging studies, surgical findings, and histopathological examinations were used to support the diagnosis. The patient was successfully treated with total excision of the anterior osteophytes with no evidence of recurrence 12 months after surgery. In this report, we also discuss the clinical features and perioperative considerations in combination with a literature review. Our patient illustrates that clinicians should be aware of this rare clinical manifestation as the presenting feature of DISH in cervical spine. Surgical decompression through osteophytectomy is effective for patients who fail conservative treatment.Keywords: diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, cervical spine, dysphagiaZhang CRuan DKHe QWen TYYang PSDove Medical PressarticleDiffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosiscervical spinedysphagiaGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 9, Pp 553-557 (2014)
