The case of a rapidly progressive cervical myelopathy in a 64-year-old man is presented. Radiological studies revealed a partial extradural block, which at surgery was found to be a focal fibrous, calcified mass associated with the ligamentum flavum. On the basis of the underlying disorder of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH), the etiology of this compression was concluded to be focal fibrous proliferation and dystrophic calcification. The neurological complications of DISH are reviewed. The authors are not aware of any other reports of this cause of myelopathy associated with DISH.
本文报告了一例64岁男性快速进展性颈髓病的病例。影像学研究显示硬膜外部分梗阻，手术中发现是一个与黄韧带相关的局灶性纤维钙化肿块。基于弥漫性特发性骨肥厚（DISH）的潜在疾病，得出这种压迫的病因是局灶性纤维增生和营养不良性钙化。对DISH的神经并发症进行了综述。作者未发现任何其他关于与DISH相关的这种脊髓病病因的报道。
