  • Title: Calcifying pseudoneoplasms of the spine with myelopathy. Report of two cases.
    Author: Mayr MT, Hunter S, Erwood SC, Haid RW.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 2000 Oct; 93(2 Suppl):291-3. PubMed ID: 11012062.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe two cases of calcifying pseudoneoplasms, rare degenerative lesions that mimic tumor or infection. One case involved the cervical spine and the second the thoracic spine. Both patients experienced progressive myelopathy from extradural compression of the spinal cord. The radiological evaluation, pathological findings in the lesions, treatment, and follow up are described. Total or subtotal excision can relieve symptoms and prevent recurrence of this lesion.
