Forestier sendromu: Nadir bir disfaji nedeni

Forestier sendromu yaygın idiyopatik iskelet hiperostozu en az dört omur boyunca devam eden omurların ön-yan kesimlerinin ossifikasyonu ile karakterize bir klinik tablodur. Etyolojisi tam olarak bilinmemektedir. Tanı radyolojik incelemelerle konur. Bu çalışmada yutma güçlüğü, boyun ağrısı ve nefes darlığı yakınmaları ile kliniğimize başvuran Forestier sendromlu bir olgu sunuldu. Tanı radyolojik incelemelerle kondu. Olgunun klinik ve radyolojik özellikleri literatür verileri eşliğinde tartışıldı

Forestier’s syndrome: a rare cause of dysphagia

Forestier’s syndrome diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis is characterized by ossification of the anterolateral aspect of at least four contiguous vertebral bodies. The exact etiology is unclear. Diagnosis is made by radiologic examinations. In this report, we present a case of Forestier’s syndrome who admitted with complaints of dysphagia, cervical pain and dyspnea. The diagnosis was based on radiological examinations. Clinic and radiological characteristics of our case were discussed in the light of literature data.
