Spinal manifestations of Paget's disease: Case presentation and systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Paget's disease of the bone (PDB) is a chronic disorder characterized by abnormal bone remodeling, often involving the spine. Although spinal stenosis and neural compression are well-documented manifestations, facet joint synovial cysts in PDB are extremely rare, and their development remains unclear.

Research question

We report the case of a PDB patient who presented with progressive radicular symptoms due to an enlarged L1-L2 cyst with marked facet hypertrophy and stenosis.

Materials and methods

We presented a case of a patient who underwent surgical decompression along with cyst excision, during which a thick-walled, hemorrhagic cyst compressing neural structures was identified. Postoperative neurological function exhibited enhancement. To compare with
