Some previous case reports have implied a relationship between acromegaly and ossification of the spinal ligaments. However, there have been no reports of a case series exploring the incidence of ossification of the spinal ligaments in patients with acromegaly. To this end, computed tomography (CT) of the spine in 10 consecutive patients with acromegaly was examined in this study. Five out of 10 patients had ossification of the spinal ligaments. Among them, two patients had ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL), which was noticeably higher than the prevalence of OPLL in the general adult population (1.9–4.3 %). Body mass index was significantly higher in the group with spinal ligament ossification (p = 0.03), but there were no significant differences in age, sex, serum phosphate, albumin-adjusted calcium, growth hormone (GH), standard deviation of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), or the incidence of diabetes mellitus between the groups with or without ossification of the spinal ligaments. The ossification index (OS index) was used to determine the severity of spinal ligament ossification, and there were no significant correlations between the OS index and GH or IGF-1 (p = 0.51 and 0.75, respectively). This study was the first to report a high prevalence of spinal ossification in patients with acromegaly. In conclusion, this study suggested a possible association between acromegaly and ossification of the spinal ligaments, although the number of patients was insufficient to draw a conclusion. Acromegaly patients should be tested to confirm, or rule out, spinal ossification, and further studies to clarify the underlying mechanism of spinal ossification in acromegaly patients are warranted.
