“…Other hypotheses have suggested that DISH may be related to disorders of vitamin A metabolism (Pennes et al, 1984;Abiteboul & Arlet, 1985) and to idiopathic hypoparathyroidism (Lambert & Becker, 1989), or that it is the result of a vascular disorder (el Miedany et al, 2000) or repeated microtrauma (Pappone et al, 1996).…”

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a common condition and its prevalence increases markedly with age. This paper describes the pathology and aetiology of the condition; DISH seems to be related to obesity and type II diabetes and is probably a multisystem hormonal disorder. DISH occurs frequently in human skeletal remains, particularly in those recovered from monastic sites. Evidence is presented to confirm this association and the causes are discussed. We also present criteria for the diagnosis of DISH in human remains, which we suggest would permit valid inter-study comparisons.

“…Hypervitaminosis A has been implicated as a possible cause of DISH (Pennes et al 1984;Abiteboul and Arlet 1985). The data currently available on the diets of the populations most susceptible to DISH do not support the hypothesis that an excess of vitamin A was consumed.…”

Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis and the Osteological Paradox

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is of interest to bioarchaeologists due to its strong associations with male sex, increased age, and potential associations with obesity, related metabolic conditions, and high social status. However, these possible associations and DISH’s contested status as a pathologic condition raise issues concerning how DISH must be viewed through the lens of the osteological paradox, particularly relating to selective mortality and heterogeneity of frailty. This article explores these concerns by examining recent clinical and bioarchaeological research on the symptomatology, etiology, and epidemiology of DISH and examines how bioarchaeologists should approach the paleoepidemiological interpretation of DISH.

Retinoid-induced ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament

1985

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Vitamin A and its synthetic congeners are known to produce a variety of skeletal abnormalities in patients on prolonged treatment with these medications. Two patients are described who developed posterior longitudinal ligament ossification following treatment with the synthetic retinoid 13-cis-retinoic acid. In both cases, this finding became apparent after other retinoid-induced skeletal abnormalities were observed and was less marked than the ossification of the anterior longitudinal ligament. Although spinal cord compression did not occur in our patients, patients on long-term retinoid therapy should be carefully observed for this complication.
