Özet
Objectives: To evaluate cervical ossification of posteriorlongitudinal ligament (OPLL) with computed tomography (CT)in the southeast of Turkey area.Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated cervicalCT of 2610 patients in our databese (1806 males, 804 females;age range 1-100 years). OPLL was present in 135 patients.These 135 patients were evaluated according to the new CTclassification.Results: We show OPLL in 135 patients (90 [66.6%] males, 45[33.3%] females; mean age 56.84 ± 15.6 [range 26 -100] years).Using classification A, 84 (62.2%) patients had non-bridgeOPLL, while 51 (37.8%) had bridge OPLL. Using the axialclassification, 114 (84.5 %) patients had the central type and 21(15.5%) patients had lateral type OPLL.Conclusions: Our population has different OPLL featurescompared to previous studies. We believe that our study willcontribute a new data related to a different population in theliterature of OPLL prevalence
