Three patients with epidural compression of the spinal cord, a rare but serious complication of type I Gaucher disease, are described. In two cases the compression occurred at the lower thoracic region due to collapse of T-11 and T-12, respectively. In the third case, an epidural mass developed at the dorsal aspect of the cord at T-2, and T-2 and T-3 showed diffuse infiltration without collapse. In two cases the diagnosis was made with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. In these cases MR imaging proved to be a safe, accurate method for demonstrating the nature and extent of disease within the spinal canal.
本文描述了3例患有脊髓硬膜外压迫的患者，这是I型戈谢病一种罕见但严重的并发症。在2例中，压迫分别发生在胸段下部，原因是T-11和T-12椎体塌陷。在第3例中，硬膜外肿块出现在T-2水平脊髓背侧，T-2和T-3椎体显示弥漫性浸润但无塌陷。2例通过磁共振（MR）成像做出诊断。在这些病例中，MR成像被证明是一种安全、准确的方法，可用于显示椎管内疾病的性质和范围。
