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