(2) They found 17 cases in which dorsal vertebral hyperostosis was indiscutable and in which there was acquired stenosis of the cervical canal related to the bony proliferations that had developed on the anterior face of the cervical canal and to the type of cells described by Forestier and Rotes-Querol on the anterior and lateral faces of the vertebral column.
(3) Applying available epidemiologic information, these data further suggest that patients with the B27 antigen may be at substantial risk of developing Forestier's disease.

(17) Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (Forestier's disease) is a common disorder found in the spinal region, but the notable finding in this case presentation is the associated dysphagia and dysphonia that occurred with it.
(18) A case of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (Forestier's disease) causing dysphonia as the presenting and only symptom is reported.
(19) The Forestier's disease is an skeletal idiopathy described by this A. and Rotés Querol, in 1950, characterized by the systemic ossification in variable degree of the vertebral column.
(20) On the nosological point of view, this radio-clinical picture, individualized by Forestier, was successively considered as an autonomous affection, a rheumatoid polyarthritis (P.R.
