| Abstract | We present of a case of severe osteoporosis with thoracic myelopathy secondary to nontraumatic T8 compression fracture managed nonsurgically with 3.5 months of bed rest. Despite treatment with teriparatide starting at initial presentation, 1-year follow-up dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scan revealed a significantly greater than expected 19% reduction in lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) and a 6% reduction in total hip density. Daily alcohol consumption, severe osteoporosis at baseline, and immobilization secondary to transient myelopathy treated with strict bed rest all likely contributed to unexpected BMD findings. |
