Thoracic spinal cord compression due to both ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) is rare.
A 33-year-old male with AS presented with a paraparesis attributed to MR documented T9-T10 OLF/stenosis. He was successfully managed with a decompressive laminectomy; this resulted in marked improvement of his deficit.
Thoracic OLF and AS rarely contribute T9-T10 spinal cord compression that may be readily relieved with a decompressive laminectomy.
强直性脊柱炎(AS)和黄韧带骨化(OLF)导致的胸段脊髓压迫较为罕见。
一名33岁的AS男性患者因磁共振成像(MR)显示的T9 - T10节段OLF/狭窄出现双下肢轻瘫。他通过减压性椎板切除术成功得到治疗,其神经功能缺损有显著改善。
胸段OLF和AS很少导致T9 - T10节段脊髓压迫,减压性椎板切除术可轻易缓解这种压迫。
