Article Synopsis
- - The study aims to define a condition called pre-DISH, which refers to patients who show early signs of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) but haven't been officially diagnosed yet, using CT scans to track changes over time.
- - Researchers analyzed 188 patients who had multiple CT scans over a 5- to 5.2-year period, finding that 19.7% were diagnosed with DISH on their first scan and 25.5% on the second.
- - They defined pre-DISH based on a modified scoring system, identifying 52 patients with the condition, and noted that 21.2% of these patients developed DISH after five years, suggesting a need for increased awareness of pre
Study Design: Retrospective case-control study.
Objectives: To determine whether diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) can be diagnosed based on anterior longitudinal ligamental ossification in the lumbar spine using plain lumbar spine X-ray images.
Methods: This study included 100 patients (59 men and 41 women; mean age, 64.
Study Design: Retrospective observational study.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between the extent of ligament ossification and the range of motion (ROM) of the lumbar spine and develop a new scoring system.
Methods: Forty-three patients (30 men and 13 women) with lumbar spinal canal stenosis who underwent decompression from January to December 2018.
A 74-year-old man developed bilateral lower limb spastic paresis. He was diagnosed with thoracic spondylotic myelopathy presumably caused by mechanical stress that was generated in the intervertebral space (T1-T2) between a vertebral bone bridge (C5-T1) due to diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis after anterior fixation of the lower cervical spine and a vertebral bone bridge (T2-T7) due to diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis in the upper thoracic spine. Treatment included posterior decompression (T1-T2 laminectomy) and percutaneous pedicle screw fixation at the C7-T4 level.

Objective: To investigate whether the progression of anterior longitudinal ligament ossification varies by age among patients with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH).
Methods: Of the patients who underwent computed tomography (CT) of the thoracic to pelvic region at least twice from 2009 to 2018, 191 who underwent CT at an interval of 5 years and 0 months to 5 years and 2 months were enrolled (87 men and 104 women).
