Abstract
The investigation of back pain with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) o ften yields an unsuspected diagnosis, not always evident on plain radi ographs. We present a case of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) whose diagno sis was suggested by changes of lumbar osteitis including the hitherto undescribed MRI equivalent of the early Romanus lesion.
