Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical spine: etiology and natural history.

Spine - 1 Mar 2012

Matsunaga Shunji, Sakou Takashi

Abstract excerpt

STUDY DESIGN: Review article. OBJECTIVE: To review the etiology, natural history, measurement tools, and image diagnosis of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) of the cervical spine. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: OPLL is a well-known disease that causes myelopathy. Genetic factors are very important for development of OPLL. However, the pathogenetic gene and natural history of OPLL have not...
