    Paget's disease of the spine can cause spinal cord compression, mimicking malignancy. Early diagnosis relies on recognizing clinical and radiological features of this rare condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Orthopedics
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Paget's disease of the spine is a rare chronic disorder of bone metabolism.
    • Spinal cord compression is a potential complication, often presenting with pain.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report three cases of spinal cord compression due to Paget's disease of the spine.
    • To highlight diagnostic challenges and characteristic findings.

    Main Methods:

    • Case report analysis.
    • Review of clinical presentations.
    • Emphasis on radiological findings.

    Main Results:

    • Three cases of spinal cord compression secondary to Paget's disease of the spine were identified.

  • Two cases initially suggested extradural malignancy due to short history and prominent pain.
  • Characteristic radiological findings were noted.

    • Conclusions:

    • Spinal cord compression in Paget's disease of the spine can present insidiously.
    • Awareness of clinical and radiological features is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
    • Distinguishing from malignancy is important for appropriate management.
