Symptomatic paraspinal calcinosis is a rare complication of scleroderma, causing neck pain and limited mobility. Imaging like CT and MRI helps diagnose and assess the extent of these calcifications.

Area of Science:

  • Radiology
  • Rheumatology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Soft tissue calcifications are a known late manifestation of scleroderma.
  • Symptomatic paraspinal calcinosis, particularly in the cervical region, is exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • A case study of a 74-year-old woman with long-standing scleroderma presenting with cervical paraspinal calcinosis.

Findings:

  • Standard radiography can confirm diagnosis.
  • CT-scan precisely locates calcifications around facet joints, identifying potential erosions.
  • MRI is valuable for assessing intraspinal extension in cases of neurological symptoms.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering paraspinal calcinosis in scleroderma patients with neck symptoms.
