Case:
A 48-year-old man presented to our facility with debilitating motor and sensory symptoms due to advanced T10-11 thoracic spinal stenosis secondary to diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH). The patient's condition was addressed with endoscopic spine surgery through a yet-to-be-reported interlaminar approach, and at the 12-month follow-up, his neurologic function was significantly improved.
Conclusion:
Select patients with symptomatic thoracic spinal stenosis secondary to DISH can be effectively managed with endoscopic spine surgery through an interlaminar approach by clinicians with extensive endoscopic spine experience.
