Forestier's disease is a systemic rheumatological abnormality in which exuberant ossification occurs along ligaments throughout the body, but most notably the anterior longitudinal ligament of the spine. This disease is usually asymptomatic; however dysphagia, dyspnea, and peripheral nerve entrapment have all been documented in association with the disorder. We report a rare case of catastrophic neurologic damage caused by Forestier's disease accompanying ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament.
福里斯特尔病是一种全身性风湿性异常疾病，其特征是全身韧带出现过度骨化，尤其是脊柱的前纵韧带。这种疾病通常无症状；然而，吞咽困难、呼吸困难和周围神经受压都与该疾病有关。我们报告了一例罕见的因福里斯特尔病伴后纵韧带骨化导致灾难性神经损伤的病例。
