Scleroderma rarely affects the cervical spine. This study details bone loss and calcifications causing spinal cord compression due to vertebral canal stenosis.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Orthopedics
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Scleroderma is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis and vascular abnormalities.
  • Cervical spine involvement in scleroderma is uncommon, with limited case reports.
  • Understanding the spectrum of scleroderma manifestations is crucial for comprehensive patient care.

Observation:

  • This report describes unique cervical spine lesions in scleroderma patients.
  • Observed lesions include osteolysis of posterior vertebral arches, impacting spinal stability.
  • Exuberant calcifications were noted, leading to spinal cord compression.

Findings:

  • Osteolysis of the posterior cervical arches disrupts normal vertebral alignment and biomechanics.
  • Extensive calcifications contribute to severe stenosis of the vertebral canal.

  • The combination of osteolysis and calcification results in significant spinal cord compression.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights a rare but severe presentation of scleroderma affecting the cervical spine.
    • Emphasizes the need for vigilant neurological and radiological monitoring in scleroderma patients.
    • Suggests potential therapeutic targets for managing spinal complications in scleroderma.
