Comparative neuroradiologic studies of the posterior longitudinal spinal ligament were performed in 15 cases showing myelopathy. On visualizing the ossified foci CT scan was found to be superior to the conventional roentgenograms, and detailed evaluation of the constricted spinal canal with related

One of the causes of hyperostosis in the spinal canal, ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) combined with ossification of the yellow ligament (OYL) in the thoracic spine, can result in serious myelopathy, leading to sandwich-type compression of the spinal cord from anterior and
We studied 23 patients with severe myeloradiculopathy involving multiple (more than three) levels of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) of the cervical spine, who were treated with laminoplasty to enlarge the spinal canal. The resected spinous processes were used as bone graf
