Atlantoaxial Subluxation In Patients With Anlcylosing Spondylitis
Wael Sadek El-Sawy;
Abstract
Ankylosing spondylitis is a chronic systemic inflammatory
disorder that primarily affects the axial skeleton. Atlantoaxial subluxation is one of the neurological complications of ankylosing spondylitis and may be caused by lysis of the bony attachments of the transverse ligament due to the inflammatory process. Rigidity of the lower cervical spine can also act as an additional factor. Our study comprised 30 patients with ankylosing spondylitis and 15 healthy subjects matched with patients in age and sex.
