OBJECTIVES
To investigate the association between ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) and ossification of the nuchal ligament (ONL) in terms of incidence and size.
METHODS
This retrospective study evaluated 297 patients who underwent CT of the cervical spine (C-spine). Two radiologists worked in consensus. The incidence of OPLL from patients with and without ONL was compared using Chi Square tests. The mean lengths of ONL from patients with and without OPLL were compared using Student t-test. The correlations between the length of ONL and the presence of OPLL and between the length of ONL and the length of OPLL were analyzed with Pearson correlations.
RESULTS
We found that OPLL occurred more frequently in patients with ONL than in patients without ONL (odd ratio = 2.524, p = 0.037); however, the mean length of ONL did not differ significantly patients with and without OPLL (p = 0.874). We found no significant correlation between the length of ONL and the length of OPLL (p = 0.233).
CONCLUSION
The presence of ONL was associated with the presence of OPLL. The length of OPLL and ONL showed no correlation.
目的
探讨后纵韧带骨化（OPLL）和项韧带骨化（ONL）在发生率和大小方面的相关性。
方法
本回顾性研究共评估了 297 例接受颈椎 CT（C 脊柱）检查的患者。两名放射科医生进行了共识评估。使用卡方检验比较有和无 ONL 的患者中 OPLL 的发生率。使用学生 t 检验比较有和无 OPLL 的患者的 ONL 长度。使用 Pearson 相关性分析分析 ONL 长度与 OPLL 存在之间以及 ONL 长度与 OPLL 长度之间的相关性。
结果
我们发现有 ONL 的患者中 OPLL 的发生率高于无 ONL 的患者（优势比=2.524，p=0.037）；然而，有和无 OPLL 的患者的 ONL 平均长度无显著差异（p=0.874）。我们发现 ONL 长度与 OPLL 长度之间无显著相关性（p=0.233）。
结论
ONL 的存在与 OPLL 的存在相关。OPLL 和 ONL 的长度之间无相关性。
