    Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is linked to obesity, diabetes, and old age, leading to unstable spinal fractures.

  • 2

    Spinal epidural hematoma (SEH) can occur from low-energy trauma in DISH patients, potentially causing severe neurological impairment.

  • 3

    MRI is essential for diagnosing spinal hematoma, requiring skilled radiologists for accurate interpretation.

  • 4

    The study reviewed 2256 MRI referrals, identifying 125 patients with spinal fractures and ankylosis, of which 70 had DISH.

  • 5

    The research aims to assess the incidence of spinal hematoma and its correlation with neurological deficits in DISH-related spinal trauma.
