  • Title: Spinal cord compression secondary to Gaucher's disease.
    Author: Markin RS, Skultety FM.
    Journal: Surg Neurol; 1984 Apr; 21(4):341-6. PubMed ID: 6701766.
    Abstract:
    A case of compression of the spinal cord and cauda equina secondary to collapse of the T-12 and L-3 vertebral bodies in a patient with type 1 Gaucher's disease is presented. Decompressive laminectomies were done at both the T-12 and L-3 levels with moderate improvement of the patient's neurologic findings. Histologic examinations confirmed the presence of Gaucher's cells in the bone. Review of the literature revealed only one previous report.
