A series of plain radiographs, bone scans, bone marrow scans, and MRIs is reported in a patient with Gaucher disease type I, in whom two episodes of acute bone crisis developed during a 6-year period of follow-up. Acute bone crisis and global indolent bone marrow displacement could both be assessed by bone marrow scintigraphy, whereas MRI could better clarify the corti-comedullary alteration after bone infarction. Thus, MRI and bone marrow scintigraphy could be used as complementary imaging methods in the management of patients with Gaucher disease.
