From: Neurological deterioration induced by sitting in patients after cervicothoracic posterior decompression with instrumented fusion surgery for ossification of the longitudinal ligament: two cases reports

Figure 1

Pre- and postoperative images of Case 1. Pre-operative computed tomography image showed beak-shaped ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament at T2/3 vertebral level (A). Posterior decompression with instrumented fusion surgery at C7-T5 level was performed (B-D). This patient showed partial paraparesis when she was sitting, but showed immediate neurological recovery after bed rest.
