Popis: An ankylosing spondylarthritis was complicated by a D9-D10 spondylo-discopathy, with severe destructive alterations. After strict immobilization for three months, when the lesions partly regressed, non-steroid anti-inflammatory (NSAI) drugs were unable to cause a cure. An excellent result was obtained with a surgical arthrodesis after 5 years. The vertebral location was filed with fibrous tissue. The patient died from an amyloid disease with renal insufficiency. The presence of amyloid tissue in the vertebral location did not prevent a good healing of the vertebral arthrodesis.
