A case of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis presenting as acute thoracic myelopathy is reported. Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis has long been regarded as a radiological entity with an innocuous clinical course. The manifestations of this disease are reviewed. There is mounting evidence that it is neither a clinically infrequent nor, as this case report illustrates, an exclusively benign condition.
