Amyloid disease complicating ankylosing spondylitis.
Wichmann (1893) first described amyloid disease complicating rheumatoid arthritis. Many further reports of this association have been published, and, with the decline in the incidence of severe pulmonary tuberculosis, rheumatoid arthritis may become the commonest cause of amyloidosis in Great Britain. Thus, Fearnley and Lackner (1956) found eight cases of amyloidosis in a series of 183 patients...
متن کاملImaging manifestations of spinal fractures in ankylosing spondylitis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Spinal fractures in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) were difficult to diagnose before CT and MR imaging were available. The purpose of our investigation was to characterize spinal fractures and determine the value of different imaging modalities in AS. METHODS Twelve successive cases of spinal fractures were identified in MR imaging files of AS patients. Conventional radiog...
متن کاملSpinal fractures in ankylosing spondylitis: prevalence, prevention and management
Patients with chronic inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, have an increased risk for bone fragility resulting in an increased risk of vertebral and non vertebral fractures. These diseases are characterized by inflammation-induced bone loss and erosive bone destruction. The...
متن کاملSurgical outcome after spinal fractures in patients with ankylosing spondylitis
BACKGROUND Ankylosing spondylitis is a rheumatic disease in which spinal and sacroiliac joints are mainly affected. There is a gradual bone formation in the spinal ligaments and ankylosis of the spinal diarthroses which lead to stiffness of the spine.The diffuse paraspinal ossification and inflammatory osteitis of advanced Ankylosing spondylitis creates a fused, brittle spine that is susceptibl...
متن کاملManagement of Acute Spinal Fractures in Ankylosing Spondylitis
Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a multifactorial and polygenic rheumatic condition without a well-understood pathophysiology (Braun and Sieper (2007)). It results in chronic pain, deformity, and fracture of the axial skeleton. AS alters the biomechanical properties of the spine through a chronic inflammatory process, yielding a brittle, minimally compliant spinal column. Consequently, this patie...
