This article presents a case of Paget's disease of the cervical spine.
To report a very rare case of Paget's disease of the cervical spine and review the literature.
We report a case of Paget's disease of the cervical spine in a 51-year-old male presenting with neck pain post RTA. Routine radiographs revealed enlarged sclerotic bodies of C2-C5 with normal alignment. CT revealed a fracture of the lateral mass of C2 with extensive sclerotic changes in the bodies of C2-C5 with periosteal apposition, endosteal resorption "pumice stone" type focal periosteal apposition consistent with Paget's disease. Laboratory investigations were consistent with a diagnosis of Paget's disease. Isotope bone scan revealed isolated uptake in the cervical spine. He was commenced on biosphosphonate therapy. Following 12 weeks of immobilisation his orthosis was removed and rehabilitation commenced.
At 12-month follow-up he is asymptomatic with no radiological change.
This case illustrates the investigation and successful management of a very rare case of Paget's disease of the cervical spine.

报告一例非常罕见的颈椎 Pagets 病,并复习文献。
我们报告了一例 51 岁男性颈椎 Pagets 病病例,该患者因 RTA 后出现颈部疼痛。常规 X 线片显示 C2-C5 增大的硬化体,排列正常。CT 显示 C2 侧块骨折,C2-C5 体广泛硬化,骨膜增生,骨内吸收“浮石”型局灶性骨膜增生,符合 Pagets 病。实验室检查符合 Pagets 病的诊断。同位素骨扫描显示颈椎孤立性摄取。他开始接受双膦酸盐治疗。固定 12 周后,去除矫形器并开始康复。
12 个月随访时,他无症状,无影像学改变。
本例说明了一例非常罕见的颈椎 Pagets 病的检查和成功治疗。
