Cervical Myelopathy is a rare manifestation of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (C.P.P.D.) deposition disease. A case is presented where radiographically noncalcified extradural masses containing C.P.P.D. crystals were present at the C7 level, producing cord compression and neurological symptoms. These masses are thought to represent para-articular deposits related to the adjacent facet joints.
