Ossification of ligamentum flavum (OLF) is calcification of the ligamentum flavum, which might narrow the spinal canal and causes myeloradiculopathy. This condition mainly affects the lower thoracal segment. Published reports on OLF are mostly from East Asia.  There was only one Indonesian OLF case that had been published. The majority of OLF involves a single level only. This is the first Indonesian case-report on multilevel OLF. Through this case report, we aim to describe the natural history of the patient and our treatment strategy in managing the multilevel OLF case. Delayed time to surgery is the key contributory factor in unfavorable surgical outcome in thoracic OLF. Choosing an appropriate surgical procedure is important. The neurological symptoms of the patient may not improve or worsen when an inadequate surgical procedure is used.

Ossification Of Ligamentum Flavum

Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH) is a noninflammatory disease of unknown cause characterised by osteophytic calcification or ossification of ligaments and enthesis; especially spinal. Authors hereby present a case report of a 65-year-old male cadaver, in whom the fusion of contiguous nine vertebrae from fifth thoracic to first lumbar vertebrae, because of ossification of the Anterior Longitudinal Ligament (ALL) was noticed. The tenth and eleventh thoracic vertebrae seemed to be affected worse, as maximum osseous anterior outgrowth (12 mm) of ossified ALL, ossification of Ligamentum Flavum (LF) and supraspinous ligament was also observed at this level. The Ossification of Anterior Longitudinal Ligament (OALL) along with the involvement of LF has not been classically reported. Ossification of spinal ligaments may cause local thoracic pain, stiffness and slowly progressive myelopathy. Ossified LF at the level of joint between tenth and eleventh thoracic vertebrae may result in compression of spinal cord at this level.
