Abstract

We report a case of high thoracic ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) causing a partial Horner’s syndrome. A 57-year-old man developed a walking disorder, as well as right-sided miosis and anhidrosis. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a spinal cord compressing T2-T3 OLF. The patient improved after surgery.
