    Author: Cruzeiro MM, Vale TC, Pires LA, Franco GM, Pennisi MF.
    Journal: Arq Neuropsiquiatr; 2007 Jun; 65(2B):532-5. PubMed ID: 17665031.
    Abstract:
    Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) is a rare cause of myelopathy in non-Oriental populations and relatively unrecognized by general practitioners. A case of an Afro-Brazilian 54-years-old woman presenting with tetraparesis due to cervical OPLL is presented. Emphasis is made for the inclusion of OPLL in the differential diagnosis of compressive cervical myelopathy.
