Abstract

Magnetic resonance imaging of 28 patients with radiological and/or histopathologically proved ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) was reviewed. The locations of OLF were cervical (n = 4), thoracic (n = 22), and lumbar (n = 2). On T1- and T2-weighted images, OLF demonstrated low signal intensity. Areas of high or intermediate signal intensity within the OLF on T1-weighted images were observed in three cases and were interpreted to be due to fat infiltration. In six cases, high intensity areas in the spinal cord caused by compressing OLF were demonstrated on T2-weighted images. Gadolinium-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid, which was used in four cases, showed cord enhancement at the level of compression by OLF in three cases.
