摘要：

Ossification of the ligamentum flavum (OLF) is a disease of ectopic bone formation within the ligamentum flavum, which may result in mass effect and neurological symptoms. It mainly occurs in the thoracic spine, and this is followed by the cervical then rarely in the lumbar spine. Herein, we present a rare case of OLF of the lumbar spine with radiological findings.
