title: [Forestier-Rotes Querol syndrome].
abstract: The diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) or Forestier's disease is characterized by an hyperostosis of the anterolateral margin of the vertebral bodies. It is an uncommon cause of dysphagia in old patients. In the differential diagnosis of mechanical dysphagia we must have present this disease. Cervico-dorsal spine radiographies reveal large anterior osteophytes creating pharyngeal encroachment.
