Diagnosis : Ankylosing spondylitis in T and L spine with fracture.


 


Discussion :
 Initial radiographic finding of spinal involvement is squaring of the anterior surface of vertebral body on the lateral view. Later, syndesmophytes form from ossification in the outer layers of the annulus fibrosus of the disc. When extensive, bamboo spine appearance. The apophyseal joints become ankylosed, and the interspinous and paraspinous ligaments ossify.As the joint fuse, the spine become susceptible to fracture that occur through the ankylosed disc and posterior elements.
