초록
Ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) usually occurs in the lower thoracic spine, and is rare in the cervical region. We report the case of a 67-year-old woman who presented a seven month’s history of progressive weakness and paresthesia in her right upper extremity. MRI and CT scans of the spine revealed the presence of ossified ligamentum flavum from C3-C4. A cervical laminectomy resulted in a good post-operative improvement of muscle strength.
