- •
Ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) can cause spinal canal stenosis.
- •
Patients with OLF can present with posterior cord syndrome or myelopathy.
- •
OLF can rarely cause cord injury after acute spinal trauma.
- •
OLF causing symptomatic spinal canal stenosis should be surgically decompressed.
