Abstract

Cauda equina syndrome is a rare complication of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). A case of lumbar radiculopathies with multiple arachnoid diverticula complicating long-standing inactive juvenile AS was reported here. Electrophysiological findings were consistent with radiculopathy. Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography demonstrated expansion of the lumbar spinal canal with scalloping of the pedicles, laminae and spinous processes, related to numerous posterior arachnoid diverticula.

Özet

Ankilozan spondilitte nadir bir nörolojik komplikasyon olarak kauda ekuina sendromu görülebilir. Bu yazıda multipl araknoid divertikülleri ile birlikte lomber radikülopatileri olan juvenil ankilozan spondilitli olgu sunuldu. Elektrofizyolojik bulgular radikülopatiyle uyumluydu. Manyetik rezonans görüntülemesi ile çok sayıdaki posterior araknoid divertiküle bağlı olarak pediküllerin, laminaların, spinoz proseslerin erozyonu ve lomber spinal kanalın genişlediği saptandı.
