Paget's Disease of Bone. In the bone scan, we see intense uptake in the lower T-spine, the mid L-spine, sacrum, and the sacral wings. The "butterfly" pattern of vertebral involvement suggests Paget's Disease, which affects the entire vertebral body rather than metastatic disease, which predelicts the pedicles. Paget's Disease frequently, but not...

Paget’s disease, or osteitis deformans, is a common condition in the middle-aged and elder persons. The disease is present in approximately 10% of patients over the age of 80 years. It is more common in men than in women. Seventy-percent of Paget’s disease is discovered as an incidental finding, patients...

Paget’s disease (PD) is a chronic metabolically active bone disease, characterized by a disturbance in bone modelling and remodelling due to an increase in osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity. The vertebra is the second most commonly affected site. This article reviews the various spinal pathomechanisms and osseous dynamics involved in producing...
