[Bone disease with Pain. The pain caused by ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical spine.] Abstract Text:
Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical spine is a hyperostotic condition of spine. The spinal cord is compressed by OPLL in the spinal canal. As a result, the myelopathy is caused. The pain is a symptom which is invited by OPLL. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs usually cure the pain ; in addition antidepressant and anticonvulsant are effective. The operation is performed for decompression of the spinal cord. Laminoplasty is ordinarily indicated, however, anterior decompression should be chosen for the patient with kyphotic alignment of cervical spine and with highly canal narrowing ratio.
