Investigation of the etiology and treatment of the condition has taught surgeons to see diseases of the spine and their surgical treatment in a new perspective. It was truly a surprise to learn that the posterior longitudinal ligament could become a thick, bony plate in the cervical spine and impinge on the spinal cord, leading to paralysis. Even more amazing, however, is that innumerable roent genological findings of such thick, bony lesions could be overlooked for decades before OPLL became well recognized by physicians in Japan. Progress in diagnostic imaging technology, first in computed tomography (CT) and then in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), has helped in diagnosis and evaluation of the disease and in deciding therapeutic modalities. There is no better tool than CT and CT myelography for demonstrating the real threat of OPLL to the cervical spinal cord. MRI, however, provides more information on widespread | | 出版日期 | Book 19971st edition | | 关键词 | Myelopathy; ossfication of the posterior logitudinal ligament; spine | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-4-431-67046-9 | | isbn_ebook | 978-4-431-67046-9 | | copyright | Springer Japan 1997 |
