Total removal of the ossification might be required to manage severe myelopathy in patients with thoracic ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament. Complete removal of the ossification gave good results in eight patients. Patients whose ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament had not been completely removed, however, had a poor outcome.

A case is reported of cervical spondylolisthesis in a 12-year-old girl. The cervical spondylolisthesis has not progressed in the 2 years of observation.
