Abstract
The article describes a clinical case of a patient with the first diagnosed Forestier disease — ankylosing diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis, dysphonia and dysphagia due to laryngeal and esophageal compression. A 79-year-old patient was disturbed by complaints of hoarseness, a sore throat, and a violation of swallowing for four months. Oncology was excluded as a result of the examination. The diagnosis is confirmed by the results of clinical and instrumental examination. A peculiarity of the case is cognitive impairment, which impeded the diagnostic search and influenced the adherence to treatment.
