  • Title: Cervical spine pseudogout with myelopathy and Charcot joints.
    Author: Fidler WK, Dewar CL, Fenton PV.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 1996 Aug; 23(8):1445-8. PubMed ID: 8856629.
    Abstract:
    Myelopathy due to calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystals in the cervical spine is rare. Neuropathic-like joints are also uncommon manifestations of CPPD crystal disease. We describe a 79-year-old woman with multiple neuropathic joints containing CPPD crystals. She also had a large mass containing CPPD crystals impinging on the cervical spinal cord, causing a myelopathy. She appears to be the first patient with this combination of unusual clinical features with CPPD disease.
