Objective: To develop and validate a patient-reported definition of acute calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystal arthritis in people with crystal-proven CPP deposition (CPPD) disease.
Methods: Consecutive patients with crystal-proven CPPD disease from seven centres across four countries were enrolled in a cross-sectional study. In each centre, patient-reported outcomes on the features of acute CPP crystal arthritis were collected.

Calcium pyrophosphate disease (CPPD) is a commonly diagnosed crystal-induced disease that typically presents as acute monoarticular or oligoarticular arthritis. It is less commonly seen in the spine, and its clinical importance in this area is still relatively understudied. Isolated spinal CPPD is quite rare; a diagnosis of spinal CPPD is almost always accompanied by peripheral CPPD.

Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition (CPPD), or pseudogout, typically affects joints like the knee and shoulder but can also deposit in spinal structures, sometimes leading to myeloradiculopathy with severe neck pain and upper limb weakness. Mild cases are managed with anti-inflammatory drugs, while severe cases require surgical decompression. We report a rare case of pseudogout causing cervical spine myelopathy at the C1-2 level, discovered during spine surgery and confirmed by pathology.
