The purpose of this study is to assess the presence of crowned dens syndrome in patients with calcium pyrophosphate disease. We report 34 patients with crowned dens syndrome in one of the largest series from a single tertiary medical center in North America. ⋯ Crowned dens syndrome is an under-recognized entity that should be considered in elderly patients with neck pain in the setting of calcium pyrophosphate disease. Our data demonstrated a high percentage (about 60%) of patients with calcium pyrophosphate disease who had cervical computed tomography findings consistent with crowned dens syndrome. This underscores the importance of performing cervical computed tomography when evaluating patients with neck pain and calcium pyrophosphate disease.
