Abstract:
We report a case of vertebral Paget's disease with paraplegia and no evidence of spinal cord compression, in which the neurological condition improved dramatically after treatment with calcitonin. Spinal cord vascular steal syndrome is suggested as another mechanism responsible for this neurologic complication.
