Treatment is primarily based on dietary changes and anti-inflammatory therapy in diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis patients suffering from dysphagia. Surgery should be considered in patients with a severe clinical status. In this article, we report three patients and discuss the diagnosis and treatment in the light of literature.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessDysphagiaidiopathic skeletal hyperostosisrareCervical vertebral osteophyte as a rare cause of dysphagia: a report of three casesArticle23238739110.5606/tgkdc.dergisi.2015.63742-s2.0-84932147662Q3WOS:000352520800034Q4
