pubmed:abstractText
The association of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) and diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) has been recently described. It may result in devastating compressive myelopathy. We report a case of quadriplegia complicating OPLL in a patient with DISH. In addition, we present a brief review of the literature on OPLL. This report illustrates the importance of appropriate neurologic and radiologic evaluation of persons with DISH, to help prevent severe neurologic complications.
