- Abstract
Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a systemic skeletal disease of unknown etiology characterized by ligamentous ossification of the anterolateral spine and the extraspinal ligaments. In generally, it has been reported to be associated with diabetes mellitus and obesity. The most common symptoms of cervical DISH are compression of the trachea and esophagus, however, neurological deficits are rare. In this article, we present an 85-year-old male patient who had non-traumatic central cord syndrome due to compression of the spinal cord and the nerve roots because of cervical DISH.
