The purpose of this exhibit is: 1. To review various causes, pathophysiologies and clinical relevancies of intraspinal calcifications/ossifications 2. To present imaging findings of various disorders that can manifest as intraspinal calcifications/ossifications  

Pathophysiology, clinical relevancies, and imaging findings of disorders that can manifest as intraspinal calcifications/ossifications categorized into 5 groups based on their etiopathogenesis : Degenerative/arthritides - Calcified intervertebral disc herniation - Ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament - Ossification of ligamentum flavum - Calcified facet joint synovial cyst - CPPD   Infectious/Inflammatory disease - Tuberculosis - Brucellosis - Cysticercosis - Paragonimiasis - Sarcoidosis   Neoplastic - Calcified meningioma - Osteoblastoma - Osteochondroma - Chondrosarcoma - Osteosarcoma   Iatrogenic -Vertebroplasty/kyphoplasty -Steroid injection   Miscellaneous -Arachnoiditis ossificans -Calcified dural plaque -Retropulsion of burst fracture -Calcification in epidural hematoma
