Bilateral Massive Pleural Effusion Caused by Spinal Instability in Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis: A Rare but Potentially Serious Complication of Spinal Fracture. [PDF]
We present a case of massive bilateral pleural effusion likely caused by spinal instability due to a spinal fracture in a patient with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH). ABSTRACT A 71‐year‐old man with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) underwent posterior spinal fixation for a thoracic vertebral fracture at a fused segment ...

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, beyond the musculoskeletal system [PDF]
It has been suggested that diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH), a skeletal disease characterized by the ligamentous ossification of the anterolateral spine, is a radiological entity with no clinical implications; however, many patients suffer

Prevalence and distribution of ossification of the supra/interspinous ligaments in symptomatic patients with cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine: a CT-based multicenter cross-sectional study [PDF]
BackgroundSupra/interspinous ligaments connect adjacent spinous processes and act as a stabilizer of the spine. As with other spinal ligaments, it can become ossified.
