C-spine demonstrated multi-level anterior cervical osteophytes at C3-T1 without disc degeneration, the largest measuring 23 mm at the level of C3 and C4 [Figure 2], consistent with a diagnosis of DISH. Compression effect of osteophytes with no other abnormalities was found on endoscopic examination.
