Abstract

During the routine examination of dry and processed bones, it was observed that the bodies’ thoracic vertebrae were fused due to the ossification of anterior longitudinal ligament. The posterior longitudinal ligament, ligamentum flavum and intervertebral disc were spared. The ossification of anterior longitudinal ligament is considered as a part of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis – DISH( Forestier’s disease), most common in the age group of 40 and more who are obese leading to mild to moderate restriction of joint movement, low back pain and stiffness.
