Spine in ankylosing spondylitis, X-ray

Spine in ankylosing spondylitis. Coloured X-ray of a section through the thoracic spine of a 74-year-old male patient with ankylosing spondylitis, showing severe degeneration of the lower thoracic spine. Ankylosing spondylitis is an inflammatory disease that affects the joints between the spinal vertebrae in the back. The disorder usually begins with pain and stiffness in the lower back. As it progresses the pain and stiffness spread up the spine, causing increasing immobility. In severe cases curvature of the spine may occur and the spine may even become completely rigid due to fusion of the vertebrae. The cause is unknown. Treatment includes analgesic drugs and regular exercise

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of a spine affected by ankylosing spondylitis, a debilitating inflammatory disease. The image showcases a coloured X-ray of the thoracic spine belonging to a 74-year-old male patient. Evident in this visual representation is the severe degeneration present in the lower thoracic region. Ankylosing spondylitis typically initiates with pain and stiffness in the lower back before progressing upwards along the spine, leading to increased immobility. In some cases, this condition can cause curvature of the spine and complete rigidity due to fusion of the vertebrae. Despite its prevalence, medical professionals are still uncertain about its exact cause. The treatment for ankylosing spondylitis involves analgesic drugs to manage pain and regular exercise to maintain mobility. This powerful image serves as both a reminder of those who suffer from this chronic disorder and as an educational tool for healthcare practitioners seeking further understanding. Photographed by DR P. MARAZZI/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBR, this print is not just visually striking but also provides valuable insight into an ailment that affects countless individuals worldwide. Whether displayed in medical facilities or personal spaces, it serves as a testament to human resilience while shedding light on ongoing efforts towards effective management and treatment options for ankylosing spondylitis patients.
