Nineteen patients with type I Gaucher disease with spinal involvement first diagnosed during childhood, were followed for 2 to 24 years (average 9 years), and their clinical and radiologic history reviewed. Patients presented with three types of pain: mild pain that was defined as nonspecific, severe pain due to bone crisis, and pain associated with vertebral collapse. Collapse of vertebra occurred gradually anywhere along the thoraco-lumbar spine, and usually more than one vertebra was involved. In three patients, rectangular collapse was noted. Six patients suffered from central vertebra collapse, and two from anterior wedge compression. Further vertebral collapse with signs of root and cord compression developed in three patients as they grew. Awareness to the possibility of progressive vertebral collapse and periodic follow-up might prevent severe complications.
