Anterior cervical osteotomy of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis lesions with computer-assisted navigation surgery: A case report. uri icon

Overview

abstract

  • KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) involves spine ligament ossification. Computer-assisted navigation (CAN) effectively aids complex surgeries, such as anterior cervical osteotomy, to alleviate progressive DISH-related dysphagia. ABSTRACT: We describe a 68-year-old man with sudden onset dysphagia to both solids and liquids. Radiographic Imaging revealed DISH lesions from C2 down to the thoracic spine. The patient was successfully treated with CAN anterior osteotomy and resection of DISH lesions from C3-C6 and had complete symptom relief within 2 weeks post-operatively.
