Pseudoarthrosis at the intervertebral space in patients with ankylosing spondylitis has occasionally been reported, but symptomatic pseudoarthrosis at the intervertebral disc level is rare in patients with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH). Here, we report a case of symptomatic pseudoarthrosis at the L2-L3 intervertebral space that was diagnosed based on clinical history. We first performed L1–L5 fixation, but back-out of the pedicle screw occurred in the early postoperative phase and may have been caused by a short fixation range and concomitant Parkinson’s disease. However, the prognosis of the case was favorable after a second surgery. This case indicates that a fixation range of at least 3 above and 3 below is necessary for bone fracture of a thoracolumbar vertebra and pseudoarthrosis in patients with DISH.

<p class="abstract">Dysphagia may occur in various pathological, inflammatory diseases of esophagus. It may also occur due to motility disorders of esophagus, benign and malignant diseases of mediastinum, cervical spine diseases. Dysphagia secondary to compression of esophagus by a cervical osteophyte is rare. The most common causes of osteophyte (bony outgrowth) in the cervical spine are diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and cervical spondylosis. Patients with cervical osteophytes are mostly asymptomatic. Hence, when considering cervical osteophytes as a cause of dysphagia other pathologic entities in the esophagus (e.g. tumors, webs, rings, strictures) should be excluded. We present a 68 year female patient who presented with complaints of dysphagia and neck stiffness since 3 months. She has been evaluated and found that dysphagia is due to large anterior cervical osteophytes compressing pharynx at C2/C3 and esophagus at C5/C6 and C6/C7 vertebral levels respectively. The objective of this case report is to emphasize the importance of anterior cervical osteophyte as a cause of dysphagia in elderly.</p>
