| Popis: | ✓ Cauda equina syndrome as a neurological complication of long-standing ankylosing spondylitis was first reported in 1961. The syndrome is relatively uncommon and its pathophysiology is still poorly understood. Based on their experience with such a case, the authors review the clinical, electrographic, histological, and radiographic features of the syndrome, including the findings of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The addition of MR imaging to the evaluation of patients with ankylosing spondylitis and the cauda equina syndrome not only aids in the diagnosis of the syndrome but may also provide valuable insight into the pathophysiology of this condition. |
