Abstract

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease that primarily affects the vertebral column and sacroiliac joints. The development of syndesmophytosis in AS leads up to a rigid and bamboo shape spine. Osteoporosis and a rigid spine may be potential risk factors for fractures due to minor traumas in this patient group. In this article, we present a case of iatrogenic C6-7 fracture and dislocation occurred while the patient was being positioned for magnetic resonance imaging study. Health care professionals should be aware of the increased risk of spine injury due to minor traumas in patients with AS.

Özet

Ankilozan Spondilit (AS), kronik inflamatuvar romatizmal bir hastalık olup, temel olarak vertebral kolon ve sakroiliak eklemleri etkiler. AS’de sindezmofitlerin gelişimi, rijid ve bambu kamışı görünümünde omurga ile sonuçlanır. Tüm omurga boyunca osteoporozun mevcudiyetinde, eksternal mikro-travmalar, kırıklara neden olabilir. Bu makalede, Manyetik Rezonans Görüntüleme için hastanın pozisyonlanması esnasında gelişen, iyatrojenik C6-7 kırıklı-çıkığı sunulmaktadır. Sağlık çalışanları, AS’li hastalarda artmış spinal yaralanma riski konusunda dikkatli olmalıdırlar.
