Abstract
Vertebra plana and multiple platyspondyly are complications of aggress ive Gaucher disease. Magnetic resonance imaging readily identifies ver tebra plana and secondary spinal cord compression. We present a case o f a 2-year-old boy with clinically aggressive Type 1 Gaucher disease i n whom MRI showed partial reconstitution of the height of a collapsed lumbar vertebral body after 16 months of enzyme replacement therapy.
