RESUMEN
La hiperostosis esquelética difusa idiopática (DISH) es una enfermedad del aparato locomotor caracterizada por una tendencia a la osificación proliferativa del periostio, ligamentos, tendones y cápsulas articulares, con afectación principalmente espinal, aunque puede contar también con manifestaciones extraespinales. Generalmente, es sólo un hallazgo radiológico, bastante llamativo, pero sin gran importancia clínica. Sin embargo, el médico de familia ha de conocer la existencia de esta patología, no sólo para realizar un diagnóstico correcto, sino por las implicaciones que pueda conllevar en forma de complicaciones tales como compresiones viscerales o medulares (a nivel cervical, principalmente), anquilosis o desestabilizaciones vertebrales. Presentamos los casos de dos varones que acudieron en un breve espacio de tiempo a nuestro centro con sintomatología similar, consistente en dolor lumbar y que presentaban el diagnóstico radiológico de DISH o enfermedad de Forestier y Rotes-Querol, sin otras complicaciones clínicas, salvo cierta rigidez en uno de los casos, tras el seguimiento efectuado
ABSTRACT
Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH) is a disease of the locomotor apparatus characterized by a tendency to proliferative ossification of the periostium, ligaments, tendons and articular capsules, which mainly affects the spine, although there may also be extraspinal manifestations. Generally, it is only a radiographic finding that is quite striking, but without great clinical importance. However, the family doctor should know about the existence of this disease, not only to make a correct diagnosis, but also because of the implications it has in form of complications such as visceral or spinal cord compressions (mainly on the cervical level), spinal ankylosis or vertebral destabilizations. We present the case of two males who came to our site with similar symptoms in a short period of time. The symptoms consisted in low back pain with a radiological diagnoses of DISH or Forestier and Rotes-Querol disease, without any other clinical complications, except some stiffness in one of the cases, after the follow-up made
