Simultaneous Diffuse Idiopathic Hyperostosis, Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament and Ligamentum Flavum
Background and Importance: A 60-year-old diabetic man with simultaneous diffuse idiopathic hyperostosis, massive ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament and cervical and higher part of thoracic ligamentum flavum is reported in this article. Such comorbidity rarely occurs. Case Presentation: The patient’s chief complaint was sensation abnormalities without gait disturbance or ...
متن کاملDelayed C5 Palsy after Laminectomy and Fusion for Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament
Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) can cause myelopathy. Laminectomy with fusion is one surgical option for the treatment of symptomatic OPLL. In this report, we present 2 illustrative cases of unilateral C5 palsy occurring in a delayed manner after posterior decompression for OPLL. Both patients were successfully treated with conservative management. incidence, potentia...
متن کاملOssification of the posterior longitudinal ligament: a clinico-radiological study of 74 cases.
A clinico-radiological analysis of 74 cases of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament is reported. Eighteen cases (24%) were asymptomatic or only had neck or shoulder pain; 16 cases (22%) showed signs of radiculopathy, and the remaining 40 cases (54%) had myelopathy. Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament developed most frequently at C5, and was rare in thoracic and lu...
متن کاملReversal of paraplegia after anterior decompression in a patient underwent posterior decompression and fusion for thoracic ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament.
This report describes a rare clinical entity, thoracic myelopathy due to ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL), and its management. A 40-year-old woman presented with thoracic myelopathy due to OPLL, extending from T2-T9. We performed a posterior laminectomy and instrumented fusion. However, postoperative paraplegia occurred within 36 h post-surgery. Emergent anterior decom...
متن کاملManagement of posterior fossa arteriovenous malformations
BACKGROUND Posterior fossa arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare vascular lesions, representing 7-15% of all intracranial AVMs. Although less frequent than supratentorial AVMs, they present higher rupture, morbidity, and mortality rates. Microsurgery, radiosurgery, and endovascular neurosurgery are treatment options for obliteration of those lesions. In this paper, we present a critical r...
