We present a patient with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease with multiple bilateral

symmetrical cervical nerve root calcifications. To our knowledge, such a finding

has not been described in the literature in association with this disease. We

propose that multiple bilateral symmetrical spinal nerve root calcifications may

be an additional imaging feature, possibly diagnostic, in this hereditary motor

and spinal neuropathy.
