Radiographs showed round shaped calcification in the spinal canal between the C4/5 and the C6/7. En-block laminectomy was performed.The results of X-ray diffractions revealed mainly hydroxyapatite.Case 2 was an 80-year-old woman who complained of hypesthesia of the extremities. A myelogram showed an incomplete block at the C5/6 level and en-block laminectomy was performed. Microanalysis of the calcification consisted of hydroxyapatite and Ca-pyrophosphate mixed.
