Abstract

We report a case of severe cervical spinal stenosis due to ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) whose clinical examination showed no symptoms or signs of neurological damage ("silent OPLL"). Questions about the diagnosis and the treatment of silent OPLL are discussed in the light of published data.
