    Has botulinum toxin type A a place in the treatment of spasticity in spinal cord injury patients?

    Spinal cord·1999

    Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH), also known as ankylosing vertebral hyperostosis (HVA), is common in older adults. Despite severe spinal and costo-vertebral ossification in DISH, this study found no impact on pulmonary function.

    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Orthopedics
    • Pulmonology

    Background:

    • Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH), or ankylosing vertebral hyperostosis (HVA), is a degenerative skeletal condition.
    • It commonly affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, particularly those over 70.
    • Spinal involvement, characterized by bony bridges, and costo-vertebral ossification are typical features.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between severe ankylosing vertebral hyperostosis (HVA) and pulmonary function.
    • To assess the impact of costo-vertebral ossification, a common manifestation of HVA/DISH, on respiratory mechanics.

    Main Methods:

    • Physical examination of 52 patients with HVA/DISH.
    • Assessment of pulmonary function tests.

  • Measurement of thoracic and spinal mobility.

    • Main Results:

    • Severe HVA/DISH, including significant costo-vertebral ossification, was observed in the study cohort.
    • No statistically significant changes in pulmonary function were detected in patients with HVA/DISH.
    • Thoracic and spinal mobility measurements were performed but not detailed in the abstract's findings regarding pulmonary function.

    Conclusions:

    • Severe ankylosing vertebral hyperostosis (HVA)/diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) does not appear to compromise pulmonary function.
    • The ossification of costo-vertebral articulations in HVA/DISH does not lead to measurable deficits in lung capacity or function.
