Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:Patients with acromegaly appear to be at increased risk of vertebral fractures despite normal bone mineral density. We investigated the prevalence of vertebral fractures in a cohort of acromegalic patients under 80 years of age. METHODS:Monocentric cross-sectional study performed at Nantes University Hospital from 1988 to 2018. Fifty patients (18 females, 32 males) with a median age of 52.3 years (range: 27-78) were included. Radiological vertebral fractures were evaluated on conventional lumbar and thoracic spine radiographs using Genant's semiquantitative fracture assessment. We studied qualitative abnormalities of the spine using three criteria: osteophytes, disc-space narrowing and wedge-shaped vertebrae. We analysed bone mineral density and endocrine status. RESULTS:Three patients (6%) had a vertebral fracture: one grade 1 and two grade 2 according to Genant's assessment, with two osteoporotic and one osteopenic patients. They had no unsubstituted pituitary deficiency. Considering the frank deformations (osteophyte or disc narrowing≥grade 2 or wedge-shaped), the thoracic spine was deformed in 22 patients (44%) and the lumbar spine in 21 patients (42%). CONCLUSION:Acromegalic patients had a low prevalence of vertebral fractures but had a significant amount of vertebral deformations. We speculate that this high prevalence of frank deformations could explain the previously reported high prevalence of vertebral fractures.
