Isolated ligamentum flavum ossification in primary hypoparathyroidism
2018
Background:
The ligamenta flava can undergo ossification and calcification resulting in myelopathy. Only seven cases of ligamentum flavum ossification in association with hypoparathyroidism have been reported, most of which had concurrent osseous changes in other spinal ligaments. Here, we report a patient with hypoparathyroidism who presented with ligamentum flavum ossification causing both cervical and thoracic myelopathy.
