摘要
An 88-year-old woman presented with fever and acute posterior neck pain. A CT scan revealed calcification of the transverse ligament and crown-like calcification around the odontoid process. According to the clinical and radiological findings, she was diagnosed with crowned dens syndrome (CDS). Her symptoms drastically improved following treatment with oral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication. An X-ray of her wrist, elbow, shoulder and knee joints showed asymptomatic calcium deposits, suggesting underlying crystalline deposition disease. CDS may occur as the initial presentation of crystalline deposition disease. The measurement of procalcitonin and an X-ray survey of the major joints may be helpful for the diagnosis of CDS.
