摘要：

Compression of the spinal cord due to ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) often leads to quadriplegia or paraplegia in Japanese patients. This disease is uncommon in other races. We report the case of a middle-aged Englishman who presented with complaints of intermittent paraparesis due to OPLL at the T5-T6 level in his thoracic spine.
