title: Multiple bilateral spinal nerve root calcifications in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
abstract: We present a patient with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease with multiple bilateral symmetrical cervical nerve root calcifications. To our knowledge, such a finding has not been described in the literature in association with this disease. We propose that multiple bilateral symmetrical spinal nerve root calcifications may be an additional imaging feature, possibly diagnostic, in this hereditary motor and spinal neuropathy.
