Abstract
- Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease is deposited mainly in the knee joint or the cartilage of the wrist joint and rarely in the spine, but the transverse ligament invasion of the atlas is most common. A patient with gait disturbance showed spinal cord compression caused by thickening of the yellow ligament of the subaxial cervical spine. This paper reported two cases of calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease associated with Crown dens syndrome on a computed tomography scan of the atlantoaxial joint.
