As a result of the abundant bone located anterior to the vertebral bodies in the cervical spine, the trachea and esophagus can be displaced, leading to dysphagia and airway obstruction.

Surgical interventions might be required in cases of severe symptomatic cervical DISH and for unstable spinal fractures.

The operative removal of the abundant bone immediately relieves mechanical pressure on surrounding tissues, although the reoccurrence of bone growth years after initial surgical resection has been described.
