A case with cervical myelopathy caused by massive calcifications of ligamenta flava is presented. The round radiopaque nodules were found on conventional cervical radiography. Following examination by computed tomography, the nodules were diagnosed as calcified ligamenta flava in the cervical spine. The findings were confirmed at surgery and by histological investigations.
