Sacro-iliac Joint abnormality in patient with DISH-Need for Revision of Criteria?
Study published in AJR by Naama Leibusho et al analysed CT of patients with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH), a condition characterized (using the Resnick classification criteria) by ossification of at least four contiguous vertebrae in the thoracic spine and preserved disk space, but without radiographic evidence of intraarticular SIJ abnormalities. According to them frequency of anterior bridging, posterior bridging, entheseal bridging, and joint ankylosis was significantly higher among patients with DISH compared with control subjects.
They concluded intraarticular ankylosis seen at CT, an entity not included in the Resnick classification criteria, is common among patients with DISH, which implies that the radiologic classification criteria for DISH need to be revised.
