A comparative clinical and roentgenologic study of spondylitis accompanying various diseases has revealed features which permit placing them in two descriptive categories. Ankylosing spondylitis and spondylitis associated with ulcerative colitis and regional enteritis resemble each other closely and constitute one category. Spondylitis associated with psoriasis and Reiter's disease also resemble each other closely but have features which distinguish them from the first category.This study is a detailed extension of a preliminary report presented in 1964 (1) which, in turn, had been an outgrowth of a comparison of clinical and radiologic features of ankylosing spondylitis and of
Comparative roentgenologic and clinical studies of 97 patients with ankylosing spondylitis and 98 with rheumatoid arthritis revealed marked differences between the two. Among the features showing the greatest differences were the frequency and degree of involvement of individual joints, sacroiliac damage, abnormalities of apophyseal joints, paravertebral calcification, abnormalities in the shape of vertebral bodies, and pelvic periostitis and osteitis.
