“…Evidence of old bone crises can be sought with a 99m Tc methylene diphosphonate bone scan. These studies may be helpful in deciding whether enzyme therapy is indicated [25]. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (of the lumbar spine and nondominant femoral neck) at baseline may be used to measure generalized osteopenia in children with Gaucher disease, but requires age-specific normative data [6,31,36].…”

“…Bone crises in the small bones of the hands and 127 feet also occur but have been described rarely; they have been reported 128 previously in studies of the hands [24] and feet [25] and in series of bone 129 scans in Gaucher disease [7]. 130 In this study, we retrospectively examined the incidence of bone 131 pain and bone crises, including small bone pain, in patients followed 132 at the Rabin Medical Center, Petah Tikva, Israel, before and following 133 the initiation of ERT.…”

“…Patients' 142 spleen status [25][26][27][28] and history of pregnancy [29,30] were document-143 ed as possible risk factors for exacerbated bone disease. 144 For patients under the Center's care at the time of bone crises, bone 145 crises were confirmed by radionuclide bone scan [7] or MRI imaging (or 146 both) (see Figs. [1][2][3][4].…”
