The authors describe a case of a 41-year-old woman who developed clumsiness and decreased sensation of both hands due to ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament(OPLL) of the cervical spine. The central part of the vertebral body and ossified area of the posterior longitudinal ligament was removed and the defect was filled with iliac bone graft. The operative result was excellent and the brief review about OPLL was made.
