Within a period of 12 years 466 patients with acute spinal cord injury were admitted to our Centre, seven of these having ankylosing spondylitis (AS). A history of alcohol consumption preceding the accident was present in five patients, and in four there was a history of neurological deterioration before their admission. An epidural hematoma was found in one patient and four expired within 3 months of their injury.The incidence of ankylosing spondylitis in cervical cord injury was 1.5%, and an associated epidural hematoma was present in some 14% of the patients. The mortality rate was 57%. There was a high incidence of alcoholic use before the accident. Neurological deterioration commonly occurred before admission. |
