Three patients with calcification of the posterior longitudinal ligament with myelopathy are reported and discussed. This condition which is frequent in Japan is rarely described in the western population. Such calcification is not only a radiographic finding but is a progressing phenomenon which may extend to compressive lesions of the spinal cord. All patients with calcification of the posterior longitudinal ligament should be fully studied neurologically and followed up.
报告并讨论了三例后纵韧带钙化伴脊髓病患者。这种情况在日本很常见，但在西方人群中很少有描述。这种钙化不仅是一种影像学表现，而且是一种进行性现象，可能会发展为脊髓压迫性病变。所有后纵韧带钙化患者都应进行全面的神经学检查并随访。
