Rheumatoid Arthritis of the Lumbar Spine.

چکیده
Although the radiological appearances of rheumatoid arthritis of the cervical spine are now well recognized there is little information on the changes, if any, to be expected in the dorsal and lumbar spine. We have encountered only three papers dealing with rheumatoid arthritis in this part of the spine. Baggenstoss, Bickel, and Ward (1952) and Lorber, Pearson, and Rene (1961) have reported rheumatoid granulomatous nodules in lumbar vertebrae with destructive changes and Seaman and Wells (1961) have observed fusion of two dorsal vertebrae after disappearance of the disk in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis.
