Abstract:
The authors report a case of ossification of the posterior atlantoaxial membrane that led to the development of cervical myelopathy. Computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were helpful in establishing the diagnosis, and decompressive laminectomy may be an appropriate intervention.
