Abstract
A case of a patient with ossification of the ligamentum flavum at T-10 and T-11 associated with compressive myelopathy is reported. Metrizamide myelography with computerized tomography allowed precise preoperative diagnosis and anatomic localization of the lesion. The patient had satisfactory and prompt improvement after surgical intervention.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
