Abstract
A patient presented with signs and symptoms of cervical spinal cord compression. Computed
tomography (CT) scan showed diffuse idiopathic hyperostosis of the posterior vertebral
border of C4, C5, C6, and C7 cervical vertebrae, with severe spinal stenosis at C5
and C6 level. Computed tomography scan is the single most useful instrument for demonstrating
the extent of bony proliferation and severity of spinal stenosis.
