  • Title: Lumbar idiopathic intervertebral disc calcification associated with ossification of the ligamentum flavum in adult: a case report.
    Author: Zhu D, Chen Y.
    Journal: Br J Neurosurg; 2018 Oct; 32(5):579-581. PubMed ID: 28703022.
    Abstract:
    A 23 year-old female was diagnosed with lumbar idiopathic intervertebral disc calcification associated with ossification of OLF. The patient underwent posterior decompression and posterolateral fusion with pedicle screw fixation, which achieved excellent clinical improvement. Surgical intervention of a posterior approach for decompression and instrumented fusion is indicated in cases that the spinal cord compression with neurologic deficits was involved.
