Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis: an incidental finding on cbct radiographic assessment

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a form of degenerative arthritis that affects individuals age greater than 60 years, with males affected more compared with females. Because it is usually painless and latent, with some incidences of intermittent pain and stiffness in the spine area, this condition is often diagnosed incidentally during radiographic examination for a nonrelated reason.1 Spinal DISH is characterized by calcification and bony growth along the anterior longitudinal ligament.
