FLUOROSIS SPINE WITH CERVICAL MYELORADICULOPATHY AND OPLL– CASE REPORT

Abstract

To report case presentations of cervical myelopathy with ossication of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) due to uorosis. Fluorosis is regularly found in a particular place or among a particular group of people which always goes unnoticed unless otherwise, complication develops. It may be prevented easily if you identify and treat it promptly. The skeletal system is one of the supporting systems of our body that gets affected by uorosis and leads to catastrophic changes. So, it is always necessary to monitor the people living in an endemic area and also people presenting outpatient departments with spine problems.
