Learning objectives Essential characteristics of Ankylosing Spondylitis and Psoriatic Arthritis. To provide a radio-pathological correlation in Ankylosing Spondylitis and Psoriatic Arthritis. To recognize key radiographic features of the axial spinal changes in ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis.
Read more Background Seronegative spondylarthropathy (SpA) consists of a group of chronic inflammatory diseases linked by common clinical features, immunopathological mechanisms and the lack of the presence of rheumatoid factor. It comprises ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), entheropatic arthropathies, reactive arthritis (Reiter syndrome) and undifferentiated SpA. Genetically, the diseases are correlated to the major histocompatibility complex class 1 antigen HLA-B27.Ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis are the most prevalent among these illnesses and they can cause severe functional disability. The age of onset...
Read more Findings and procedure details Ankylosing spondylitis is the most common seronegative spondyloarthropathy. The patients may often suffer from low back pain and morning stiffness due to chronic inflammation of the sacroiliac (SI) joints and vertebral column. Extraspinal manifestations of the disease consist of arthritis of the peripheral joints, anterior uveitis, enthesitis and cardiac and pulmonary complications [2].There are three main radiopathological changes in AS: inflammation, bony repair and ossification, which can occur either consecutively or simultaneously [3].In ankylosing spondylitis, spine involvement begins within the...
Read more Conclusion In axial spondyloarthritis, the specific signs present on a plain radiography play a fundamental role in diagnosing, monitoring the disease and starting the early treatment of the patients.Conventional radiography continues to be the gold standard to evaluating patients with suspected axial spondyloarthritis. The key radiographic spinal signs present in ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis help both the clinicians and the patients to stand up straight with axial spondyloarthritis.
