Two patients with fatal cervical cord compressive myelopathy are described, both of whom had been on dialysis for more than 15 years. Destructive changes were noted in mid and upper cervical regions, with soft tissue mass in the atlanto-occipital region in one patient. Clinical and radiographic findings suggest both amyloid and hyperparathyroidism as possible etiologies for these destructive spinal changes. Clinicians should be aware that the full picture of quadriparesis may be associated with destructive spondyloarthropathy (DSA) in long-term dialysis patients.
