Calcification of cervical ganglia: case report.
We describe a 44-year-old woman with progressive cervical pain in whom plain films of the cervical spine showed only minor syndesmophyte formation when the patient first presented. However, after 5 weeks, repeat films demonstrated heavy symmetrical calcification of the cervical dorsal root ganglia. A review of the literature did not reveal a previous description of these findings.
