The crowned dens syndrome (CDS), also known as periodontoid calcium pyrophosphate dehydrate crystal deposition disease, is typified clinically by severe cervical pain, neck stiffness and atlantoaxial synovial calcification which could be misdiagnosed as meningitis, epidural abscess, polymyalgia rheumatica, giant cell arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, cervical spondylitis or metastatic spinal tumor. Crystalline deposition on cervical vertebrae is less well known disease entity and only a limited number of cases have been reported to date. Authors report a case of CDS and describe the clinical feature.
颈椎椎体终板综合征（CDS），也称为齿突周围焦磷酸钙脱水结晶沉积病，临床上以严重的颈部疼痛、颈部僵硬和寰枢关节滑膜钙化典型表现，可能会被误诊为脑膜炎、硬膜外脓肿、风湿性多肌痛、巨细胞关节炎、类风湿性关节炎、颈椎病或转移性脊柱肿瘤。颈椎椎体结晶沉积是一种鲜为人知的疾病实体，迄今为止仅有有限数量的病例报道。作者报告了一例颈椎椎体终板综合征病例并描述了其临床特征。
