    AbstractRadiological and hospital records of 400 patients with Paget's disease that was shown radiologically have been examined in an effort to establish the clinical significance of the disease. Twenty-eight per cent of the patients were considered to have symptoms related to their disease, the most frequent symptom being bone pain, deformity and fracture. It appears that Paget's disease may predispose to the formation of urinary calculi. Malignant change and neurological and cardiovascular complications are rare, and osteitis deformans does not appear to predispose to osteoarthrosis.
