Abstract
Skeletal fluorosis is a rare toxic osteopathy reported as an endemic
disease and caused especially by prolonged ingestion of high fluoride
concentration. Spinal cord compression primarly by the ossification of
the posterior longitudinal ligament and ligamentum flavum, may rarely
reveal the disease. Surgical decompression is the treatment of choice.18 Nov 2020Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 12 Dec 2020Submission Checks Completed
