OPLL SPINE OSSIFICATION POSTERIOR LONGITUDINAL LIGAMENT CT (VIDEO)
- There is localised, linear ossification present at the posterior margin of the C6 vertebra.
- This has a typical appearance of OPLL (Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament).
- The cervical spine is the most common location.
- It is important to follow this up with an MRI of the cord to assess for cord compression and myelopathy.
