Cervical radiculomyelopathy due to deposition of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals in the ligamentum flavum: historical and histological evaluation of attendant inflammation.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Shiga University of Medical Science, Otsu-shi, Japan.
Deposition of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystals in the yellow ligament occasionally leads to neurological deficits through compression of the spinal cord. Although it is widely accepted that CPPD crystal induces severe inflammation in arthropathy, little attention has been paid to the acute inflammation that may accompany the CPPD crystals in the ligamentum flavum. The present study reviews eight patients with radiculomyelopathy due to calcification of the cervical yellow ligament.

Different pathogenetic factors have been associated with the development of chondrocalcinosis. Under normal conditions, previous degenerative meniscus changes with proliferation of "pseudochondrocytes" and chondrocalcinosis have been found coincidentally. Small fragments can be excised during arthroscopy for histological assessment of the developmental stages and localization of chondrocalcinosis.

The incidence of conventional radiographic features of osteoarthrosis, osteophytes, joint space narrowing subchondral cysts, subchondral sclerosis, and varus or valgus deformity was equal in CC and OA joints. But distinctive changes in the patello-femoral area were found in half of the CC joints.
