“…[24][25][26] In such instances, besides experiencing neck stiffness, extensively enlarged osteophytes can result in a marked compression of anteriorly located anatomical structures. 9-15, [24][25][26] Compression of these structures may cause globus, dysphagia, aspiration, hoarseness, stridor, dyspnea, and sleep apnea of varying intensities within the patients with progressive DISH. Neurological deficits are rare in this disease and it occurs only when ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) coexists.…”

“…Neurological deficits are rare in this disease and it occurs only when ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) coexists. [24][25][26] One of the most interesting features of DISH is dysphagia. According to Verllan, 204 cases of DISH induced dysphagia had been reported until 2011.…”

It is a well-defined syndrome with axial and peripheral skeletal manifestations including hyperostosis at the tendon insertions site around the joint capsules as well as the ossification of the anterior longitudinal ligament (ALL) of the spine. The bridged ossified anterior longitudinal ligament may infrequently cause swallowing difficulties and respiratory distress. The initial complication is due to excessively enlarged cervical osteophytes at the cervical-subaxial level and at or below C4 with a compression of esophagus. The subsequent complications are usually secondary to enlarged spurs above C4. In this paper we discuss two cases where the patients have experienced progressive dysphagia for one year and in which radiological findings were compatible with DISH from C2-C7 with the largest existing at C4. Surgical excision of the prominent osteophytes resulted in improvement of the dysphagia in both cases.

“…Stroke caused by vasculitis is well described in the Churg–Strauss syndrome, which is characterised by multisystem granulomatous eosinophilic vasculitis accompanied by peripheral eosinophilia and a history of asthma 4. Granulomatous eosinophilic vasculitis accompanied by mild peripheral eosinophilia has been observed in parenchymal and leptomeningeal vessels affected by cerebral amyloid angiopathy 5.…”
