AbstractDiffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is characterized by anterior and lateral ossification of the vertebral body. We present a case report of central cord syndrome in a patient with DISH after minor trauma. The patient was treated surgically. We also discuss symptomatology and the common mechanism of cord injury in DISH.
