| Abstract |
| Abstract Enthesopathy and ligament calcification
may occur in both the degenerative and inflammatory types of diffuse
idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis and ankylosing spondylitis. Despite
their fairly frequent occurence in rheumatic disease care settings,
few reports of their presence in the same patient have appeared in
the literature. In this report, we present the case of a male patient
with chronic low back pain, who had both ossification of anterior
spinal ligaments and bilateral sacroiliac joint ankylosis, and discuss
the known pathogenesis of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis. |
