抄録

A case of paraplegia caused by calcification of the thoracic spinal yellow ligament is presented. A 77-year-old Japanese woman had lumbago, muscle weakness of her lower extremity and hypoesthesia of right lower extremity as incipient symptoms. Radiological examination of the thoracic spine showed scoliosis, spondylotic deformity and abnormal opacity posteriorly in the spinal canal.<br>Myelography, CT scan and MRI demonstrated spinal canal stenosis due to calcification of the yellow ligament in the T10-11 region. Decompression following laminectomy was performed from T9 to T12. Postoperatively, paraplegia gradually improved and she could walk without walking aids three months later.
