Abstract

Dural ossificans is a common chronic disorder that usually is found in the thoracolumbar spine. Sometimes it is associated with ossification of the ligamentum flavum, but the lesion region generally does not exceed three segments. These forms of spinal dural and arachnoid calcification within the spine are rarely associated with clinical symptoms. We describe a patient with hyperdense plaques ossificans of the thoraco-lumbo-sacral dura mater consistent with spinal stenosis.
