Calcified pseudoneoplasms of the neuraxis ( CAPNON ) are a rare diagnostic entity. They have been reported intra‐cranially as well as in the spine, and are most commonly found at the skull base. This is a case report of a 38‐year‐old woman who presented with bilateral CAPNON , diagnosed 8 years apart. While there are approximately 46 reported in the current literature of cerebral and spinal fibro‐osseous lesions, this is the first report of separate lesions.
