Abstract

Compromise of the spinal canal and its neural elements is a well-recognized pathological entity affecting the lumbar or cervical spine. Thoracic stenosis in the absence of a generalized rheumatological, orthopedic, or metabolic disorder is rare. The authors report a case of progressive thoracic myelopathy leading to paraplegia following severe thoracic spinal stenosis secondary to post-traumatic hypertrophy of thoracic laminae and ossification of the ligamentum flavum and posterior longitudinal ligament.
