A

cotton wool skull

40
Q

Describe the appearance of the mixed/blastic stages of Paget disease in the skull.

A
  • thickening of inner & outer tables of calvarium
  • platybasia
  • basilar impression/invagination
  • misshapen jaw
  • tooth loss
  • Leontiasis Ossei
41
Q

What are some of the consequences of Paget disease in the skull?

A
  • increased cranial pressure –> headaches
  • basilar invagination/impression
  • platybasia –> can compress medulla/spinal cord
  • compress CN VIII –> hearing changes (tinitus)
  • cerebellar gait disturbances
  • “hat doesn’t fit”
42
Q

What is basilar invagination/impression?

A

Skull becomes too heavy and collapses on C1, so that the cervical spine is protruding into foramen magnum –> causing brain/spinal cord compression

43
Q

What is Leontiasis Ossei?

A

“lion-like face”
increase in facial bone size due to Paget disease in the skull

44
Q

What is platybasia?

A

flattening of the base of the skull

45
Q

How does Paget disease appear radiographically in the spine?

A
  • ivory vertebra
  • “picture frame” vertebrae (mixed/blastic stages)
46
Q

What is an ivory vertebra?

A

densely blastic vertebral body

47
Q

In Paget disease in the spine, bone gets bigger in what dimension?

A

laterally (A-P + M-L)
(bone softening, will compress bones, not allowing vertically)

48
Q

How would you form your differential diagnosis if you see “ivory vertebrae” on a radiograph?

A

IHOP:
- idiopathic (Dx of exclusion, must rule out the following)
- hodgkins lymphoma
- osteoblastic metastasis (no thickening/^size)
- Paget disease (picture frame vertebra)

49
Q

What is a possible consequence of Paget disease in the spine? How would this manifest clinically?

61
Q

Why does Pagetic steal occur in Paget disease?

bone steals blood from rest of body –> can cause dizziness & gait disturbances

62
Q

Why does cardiomegaly occur in Paget disease?

A

bone increases demand for blood

63

heart can’t keep up with Pagetic bone demand

Q

What are the findings of diagnostic labs for Paget disease?

A
  • normal Ca and PO
  • ^alkaline phosphatase

Q

Hydroxyproline and hydroxylysine are large components of ____

A

collagen

  • both are components of collagen
  • ^turnover of osteoid + destruction in Paget disease
67
Q

What is the treatment for Paget disease?

A
  • none, if asymptomatic
  • manage symptoms (Fx & osteoarthritis)
  • refer to rheumatology: osteoclast inhibitors (calcitonin & bisphosphonates)
68
Q

Pagetic steal is caused by the over proliferation of vasculature in dense, disorganized bone tissue causing patients to experience ____

orthostatic hypotension
(can cause dizziness & gait disturbances)

69
