    Abstract:
    A case report of spastic paraparesis due to Paget's disease of the dorsal spine is presented. The patient became almost completely paralyzed in the lower limbs in spite of a decompressive laminectomy. He was treated with salmon calcitonin with very rapid neurologic recovery. The limits of the regimen and possible complications are discussed.
