ABSTRACT
Ossification of the yellow ligament (OYL) is a rare disease that causes myeloradiculopathy at the thoracic spine. The advances in radiographic imaging techniques have made a diagnosis of this pathological entity relatively simple. Surgical decompression and excision of the OYL is the treatment of choice if there are neurological complications from the OYL. We describe a 50-yearold male with thoracic myelopathy caused by a fractured OYL at T10-11, and suggest possible mechanism of the fracture of the OYL at the thoracolumbar spine.
