Abstract
Reiter’s syndrome is described as an inflammation of the joints and tendon attachments at the joints, and is often accompanied by an inflammation of the eye’s conjunctiva and the mucous membranes, such as those of the mouth, urinary tract, vagina, and penis, and by a distinctive rash. Ossification of the yellow ligament associated with Reiter’s syndrome has never been reported A 41-year old male patient with Reiter’s syndrome was admitted to our hospital due to cervical myelopathy caused by ossification of yellow ligament. He was treated with laminectomy and fusion, from C3 to C7, by using a lateral mass screw and plate fixation. Laminectomy and fusion seems to be an appropriate treatment option for cervical myelopathy due to ossification of yellow ligament.
