Abstract
Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis is a progressive non-inflammatory bone and entheses disease which reduces the quality of life and self-sufficiency of patients. Despite significant prevalence is awareness of this disease still low and often leads to misdiagnosis.
Therapeutic approach is different in diseases with similar symptomatology so it is important to raise awareness of this disease.
