Vitamin D resistant hypophosphataemic rickets is a rare cause of spinal cord compression. The compression is caused by a combination of thickening of the laminae and calcification of the ligamentum flavum. Modern imaging techniques including CT and MRI provide excellent detail of both the level and degree of compression. MRI is particularly useful for examining the rest of the spinal cord for areas of impending compression and for postoperative follow-up. With careful surgical decompression a full neurological recovery can be achieved.
维生素D抵抗性低磷血症性佝偻病是脊髓压迫症的罕见病因。这种压迫是由椎板增厚和黄韧带钙化共同引起的。包括CT和MRI在内的现代成像技术能很好地显示压迫的部位和程度。MRI对于检查脊髓其他部位是否存在即将发生压迫的区域以及术后随访特别有用。通过仔细的手术减压，可实现完全的神经功能恢复。
