What Is Mushroom-Type OPLL in Cervical Myelopathy?

Mushroom-type OPLL (ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament) is a unique spinal condition where excess bone growth protrudes into the spinal canal, resembling a mushroom on CT or MRI scans. This can lead to spinal cord compression, resulting in symptoms such as numb hands, difficulty walking, stiffness (spasticity), and cervical myelopathy.

Early diagnosis of OPLL in the cervical spine is crucial for effective management. Advanced surgical techniques may be required depending on the severity of compression
