Definition:
Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) is a
chronic inflammatory disease of the
axial skeleton manifested by
inflammatory LBP and progressive
stiffness of the spine accompanied
by enthesitis and/or arthritis

Imaging and Sacroiliitis:
• Standard AP plain X-ray of the pelvis:
It may show sacroiliitis with a delay
of 8-10 years
• MRI of the pelvis; the most sensitive
• Whole Body Bone Scan (WBS) or
Scintigraphy of Bones

Radiological Sacroiliitis:
• Grade 0: Normal SI joints• Grade 1: Suspicious changes of SI
joints• Grade 2: Minimal erosions or
sclerosis of SI joints without altration in the joint width

Radiological Sacroiliitis:
In AS: • Bilateral sacroiliitis is more common
than Unilateral• Symmetric sacroiliitis is a Hallmark
featureIn other SpA:• Unilateral or Asymmetric sacroiliitis is
a compatible feature

Imaging and spondylitis:
• MRI of the spine may show bone marrow edema of the vertebrae before there are changes on plain radiographs
• But only Plain X-ray is recommended for early diagnosis of spondylitis
• Why?: because, 95% of AS patients will also have bone marrow edema in the SI joints early in the course of their disease
• So, MRI is recommended for sacroiliitis

Imaging and spondylitis:
Plain X-ray of spine:
• “Squaring” of the vertebral bodies is an
early finding due to AS in lateral view
• So, we recommend a lateral view of lumbar
spine in early AS
• “Barreling”,“Romanus” sign & “Shiny corner”
sign are other early findings in lateral view

Imaging and spondylitis:
Later X-ray findings:
• Syndesmophytes
• Ankylosis of the facet joints
• Calcification of the anterior longitudinal
ligament
• Bamboo spine

Imaging and spondylitis:
Other X-ray findings:
• C1-C2 subluxation:
– documented by MRI
• Spondylodiscitis
• Fracture

Initiation & propagation of axial findings in Plain X-ray:
1. Symmetric Sacroiliitis
2. Symmetric Lumbar syndesmophytes
3. Ascending toward

• Cervical spine

Host susceptibility to AS:• AS occurs worldwide roughly in proportion to the
prevalence of HLA-B27• In general population: prevalence of 0.2-1.4%• In adults inheriting HLA-B27: prevalence of 5-6%• In HLA-B27(+) adult with positive FH (1rt-d) of AS: 10-
30%• Concordance rate in identical twins: 65%• HLA-B27 positivity in AS:
– IN American white AS: 90%– In American black AS: 45%– In Iranian AS: 45%
• HLA-B27 positivity in general population of USA : 7%• So susceptibility to AS is largely determined by HLA-B27

MNYC Criteria for Ankylosing Spondylitis:
A patient is regarded as having
definite AS if he or she fulfills at least
one radiological criteria plus at least
one clinical criteria
• It is Moderately specific and
• It has a low degree of sensitivity

MNYC criteria is low sensitive and moderately specific because:
• Radiologic changes in pelvis X-ray
appear with at least 8 years delay in
most cases and MRI is not used for
detecting Sacroiliitis
• Limited chest expansion is an
uncommon and delayed finding

MNYC criteria is low sensitive and moderately specific because:
• Inflammatory LBP is a leading symptom
with sensitivity of 75% and it is typical
in about 70-80% of patients with LBP
• It is not included FH of AS
• It is not included Enthesitis
• It is not included HLA-B27 positivity

AS are not yet satisfied in each step,
go through the next.

“Amir alam Hospital” approach towards diagnosis of AS:
• However, if the patients fulfil the criteria in
the first step, we suggest the
investigations be necessarily continued by
the second step as in routine practice, a
pelvic X-ray and HLA-B27 testing are
beneficial for documentation and
prognosis of AS patients

“Iran criteria” versus “MNYC criteria” for diagnosis of AS:
• Sensitivity of Iran criteria is 100% from the initial presentation of disease
• Sensitivity of New York criteria:– Two years after initial presentation:

Conclusion:
Iran criteria for AS is a highly
sensitive instrument to detect AS in
its early and late, clinical and
subclinical, radiographic and pre-
radiographic stages as well as
atypical forms

Differential diagnosis:• Spondylosis: NormaL SI joint, Osteophyte• DISH: Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis– “Flowing wax”– Normal SI joint– Normal facet joint– Normal intervertebral disk spaces
• Ochronosis; Wafer like calcification• Axial Brucellosis: – Lumbar spondylodiscitis– “Parrot beak” bony bridging– Unilateral sacroiliitis

Pathology of AS:
• In AS major pathological feature is “Enthesitis”, but in RA is “Synovitis”
• “Uncoupled” bone erosion (Inflammatory) and new bone formation processes occur in entheses:– Ankylosis of SI joints– Syndesmophytes, Bamboo spine– Ischial wiskering

Pathogenesis:
Genetic susceptibility: 90% of the risk of developing AS is heritable
Immune-mediated events or Osteoimmunology (no autoimmunity)
• Inflammation:– TNF-a, IL-17, …– Bacterial trigger??
• New bone formation:

Pathogenesis:
Genome-wide association studies
(GWAS) have demonstrated an
association between AS and a
region of the chromosome
encompassing the genes LTBR
(Lymphotoxin beta receptor) and
TNFRSF1A (Tumor necrosis factor
receptor 1)

Pathogenesis:
New bone formation:
• Endochondral
• Two major pathways:
– Bone morphogenic proteins (BMP)
–Wingless (Wnt) family of proteins

Pathogenesis:
Wnt pathway:
• Modulated by PGE2
• Suppressed by noggin, sclerostin & DKK-1
• PGE2 and defective gene of promoting
synthesis of DKK-1 play a central role in
new bone formation in AS

Treatment:
• Pharmacologic– NSAIDs– Non-Biologic DMARDs:
• Sulfasalazine, MTX, Arava, for peripheral arthritis
– Biologic Anti TNF-a agents– Glucocorticoids
• Non-pharmacologic– Life style & health recommendation– Exercise– Surgery

Treatment:
• Biologic anti TNF-a agents suppress the
symptoms of AS, as well as the acute
phase response. Hence, there is no doubt
that TNF-a is a critical mediator of
inflammation in AS. However, these TNF-a
inhibitors do not arrest the progression of
bone erosions or syndesmophyte
formation

Treatment:
NSAIDs inhibite COX decrease PG:
• Arrest inflammation and bone
erosions
• Arrest new bone formation via
decreasing of PGE2

Surgery:
• Total joint replacement;
– Advanced Hip arthritis
• Wedge osteotomy:
– Severe spine deformities
• Fusion of Atlantoaxial joint:
– C1-C2 subluxation
