AB - Study Design: A case report.
Objectives: To report a rare case of cauda equina syndrome due to lumbar ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL).
Summary of Literature Review: Lumbar OPLL with neurologic symptoms is very rare.
Materials and Methods: A 49-year-old female had experienced weakness in both lower extremities and radiating pain for 1 day prior to presentation. Simple radiography and CT showed OPLL at the L1-L2 level. We performed a total laminectomy and posterolateral fusion at the L1-L2 level using a posterior approach.
Results: After treatment, the patient showed improvement of symptoms and is currently living without discomfort.
Conclusions: Cauda equina syndrome due to lumbar OPLL is rare; however, rapid neurologic recovery can be achieved through early diagnosis and surgery.
