Abstract:Key Clinical MessageDiffuse 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.AbstractWe describe a 68‐year‐old man with sudden onset dysphagia to both solids and liquids.
