Abstract

La Osificación del ligamento longitudinal posterior(OLLP) cervical es frecuentemente reportada en la población de Japón, pero menor en el resto de Asia y los otros continentes. En Cuba no existen reportes de esta entidad. Aunque su presentación clínica es variable puede producir limitaciones físicas importantes en los pacientes por compresión medular que causa. Se presenta el caso de una paciente de 63 años atendida en el Servicio de Neurocirugía del Centro de Investigaciones Médico Quirúrgicas (CIMEQ), en La Habana, Cuba, en la cual se realizó un abordaje quirúrgico posterior y laminectomía con buena evolución postquirúrgia.
