Compression of the spinal cord due to ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) often leads to quadriplegia or paraplegia in Japanese patients. This disease is uncommon in other races. We report the case of a middle-aged Englishman who presented with complaints of intermittent paraparesis due to OPLL at the T5-T6 level in his thoracic spine.
在日本患者中,后纵韧带骨化(OPLL)导致的脊髓压迫常引发四肢瘫痪或截瘫。这种疾病在其他种族中并不常见。我们报告了一例中年英国男性病例,该患者因胸段脊柱T5-T6水平的OPLL出现间歇性下肢轻瘫症状。
