Annulus fibrosus calcification in the cervical spine: radiologic-pathologic correlation.

Abstract:

:Intervertebral disc calcification can be secondary to a variety of pathologic processes including some of the arthritides, metabolic diseases, and trauma. The annulus fibrosus is the most commonly calcified component and may mimic vertebral body fracture, limbus vertebra, or a persistent ring apophysis. We describe two young patients who developed calcification in the anterior annulus fibrosus and present radiologic-pathologic correlation in this condition in another case. This calcification may actually be secondary to subclinical or chronic stress on the involved intervertebral disc.
