Item An Idiopathic Case of Calcium Pyrophosphate Dihydrate Crystal Deposition Disease with Crowned Dens Syndrome in a Young PatientUnlu, Z; Tarhan, S; Ozmen, EMCalcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystal deposition disease is rare in patients under the age of 40 in the absence of metabolic or familial predisposition. A high incidence of involvement of the transverse ligament of the atlas in CPPD deposition disease was reported. However, involvement of the craniocervical junction is rarely symptomatic. We report a rare case in a young male with severe idiopathic CPPD crystal deposition disease, including crowned dens syndrome in the cervical spine.
