The genetics of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament

Neurosurgical Focus, 2011
Object Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is a pathological process of ectopic calcification with a preponderance for the cervical spine. Epidemiological and familial studies have both indicated predisposition; however, the genetic inheritance pattern and responsible genes for OPLL are ...

Ossification of Posterior Longitudinal Ligament [PDF]

Medical Journal Armed Forces India, 2004
Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is well demonstrated by plain radiography but is frequently overlooked. CT scan is a highly reliable modality for evaluating the extent of the lesion, in addition CT myelography images permit an analysis of the degree of encroachment on the spinal canal and compression of the cord.
