Abstract
We describe a 44-year-old woman with progressive cervical pain in whom plain films of the cervical spine showed only minor syndesmophyte for mation when the patient first presented. However, after 5 weeks, repea t films demonstrated heavy symmetrical calcification of the cervical d orsal root ganglia. A review of the literature did not reveal a previo us description of these findings.
