ABSTRACT
Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH), also known as Forestier's disease and ankylosing hyperostosis, is a relatively common disease that predominantly affects middle-aged and elderly men. It is often asymptomatic; especially dysphagia is a rather frequent and prominent symptom, particularly when the cervical spine is involved with the hyperostotic state. A case of DISH, with dysphagia, was experienced, which was treated by excision of the bony spur, with an anterior approach.
