Thoracic myelopathy due to isolated ossification of the ligamentum flavum.

T Shiraishi1, H V Crock, P Lewis.   

Abstract

We report a 72-year-old patient with thoracic myelopathy due to isolated ossification of the ligamentum flavum at T9-T10. Severe paraparesis had developed before the lesion was identified when thinning of a segment of the lower thoracic spinal cord was suspected on a second MRI examination. The diagnosis was then established by CT.
