Coexistence of flavum ligament ossification with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis in the cervical spine: Review of literature and technical note starting from a rare case
2022, NeurochirurgieCitation Excerpt :High rate (66.7%) of adherence of the lesions to the dura mater has been describe in previous case series [12]. Microscopic magnification reduces risk of post-operative CSF-leak allowing the finding of an optimal plane between ossified ligament and dura mater [2,10–12,25,31–33]. Therefore, gross total decompression leaving a little piece of ossified ligament anchored to dura is also possible [20].
Pathophysiology of Calcification and Ossification of the Ligamentum Flavum in the Cervical Spine
2018, Neurosurgery Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Almost all patients presented with sensorimotor deficits, whereas muscle atrophy and sphincter dysfunction were rare. The initial symptom is commonly a sensory disturbance of the extremities, as in other cervical degenerative diseases.46 CT is the most useful technique with which to clarify the type of OLF and distinguish OLF from CLF.
Ossification of the Ligaments in the Cervical Spine, Including Ossification of the Anterior Longitudinal Ligament, Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament, and Ossification of the Ligamentum Flavum
2018, Neurosurgery Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :They found 34% of cervical OPLL ossification occurred with thoracic OLF. However, the combination of cervical OLF and OPLL is extremely rare.4,50,65–67 OALL is seen in patients with an OLF.68
