A clinical case analysis of a misdiagnosis as AS, actually DISH: A case report
This case underscores the importance of recognizing the limitations of initial diagnostic approaches, overcoming cognitive biases and fixed thinking patterns among physicians, and the value of comprehensive, multidisciplinary evaluations. It provides valuable insights for clinicians to enhance their ability to distinguish between axSpA and DISH, thereby reducing the likelihood of misdiagnosis and improving overall diagnostic and treatment quality.
