    Hirayama Disease is a rare benign lower motor neuron disorder which is primarily affecting young males. It is characterized by the progressive weakness of the distal upper extremities followed by spontaneous stabilization of the symptoms. In this paper, we describe a 58 year- old female patient with a complaint of weakness in the right hand and forearm. Magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine established the final diagnosis of Hirayama disease. Hirayama disease when detected and intervened at an early stage of the disease process, can have a good prognosis. Clinicians and radiologists should be aware of the clinical features, as well as suspicious findings on neutral-position MR imaging and an additional neck-flexion MR imaging study should be arranged to confirm the diagnosis.

    Cervical destructive spondyloarthropathy due to the dialysis-related amyloidosis: imaging findings
    (2019) Turnaoglu, Hale; Haberal, Kemal Murat; Unal, Oguzcan; Ozen, Ozlem Isiksacan; Agildere, Ahmet Muhtesem
    Dialysis-related amyloidosis that occurs secondary to the deposition of amyloid fibrils containing beta-2-microglobulin, is a type of amyloidosis affecting patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis. It involves the osteoarticular system predominantly. Destructive spondyloarthropathy, is a type of dialysis-related spondyloarthropathy, which frequently involves the cervical spine, have been reported only sporadically. We describe a case of a destructive spondyloarthropathy, in a 43-year-old long-term hemodialysis patient, presenting with myelopathy with particular interest to cervical computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings.
