| Popis: | 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. |
