Abstract
A case of ossfication of the posterior longitudinal ligament (PLL) at the cervical level one year after cervical irradiation is reported. This condition is rare in Caucasian people. The cause is unknown. The particular circumstances of ossification occurence in the case reported allow us to propose a new etiological hypothesis.Keywords
