Quadriplegia complicating ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament
The Journal of the Association of Physicians of India
|April 2, 2002
Abstract:
We report a case of quadriplegia complicating ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) in a patient who was also found to have diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH). She also had osteomalacia (Vit. D deficiency) with secondary hyperparathyroidism. There could be a cause and effect relationship between the abnormal biochemistry and OPLL.
