Abstract
Two men with longstanding ankylosing spondylitis (AS) developed spasti
c paraparesis. Extensive investigation failed to find a cause and it w
as concluded that some acute undetermined intrinsic spinal cord lesion
had occurred. Similar descriptions in the past have been attributed t
o associated multiple sclerosis, but we suggest that the finding may r
epresent a rare complication of AS with an unknown etiology.
