Cervical spine involvement in psoriatic arthritis is not uncommon and can often mimic symptoms and signs of ankylosing spondylitis. However, some specific features may help to differentiate between patients with psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Here, we present a series of three patients with psoriatic arthritis and increasing cervical pain and loss of mobility. Each of the cases shows specific radiographic characteristics. These cases therefore illustrate different aspects of the involvement of the cervical spine in axial forms of psoriatic arthritis and highlight the importance of proper evaluation and management of axial disease in psoriatic arthritis.
银屑病关节炎累及颈椎并不罕见，且常常会模仿强直性脊柱炎的症状和体征。然而，一些特定特征可能有助于区分银屑病关节炎患者和强直性脊柱炎患者。在此，我们介绍了三例患有银屑病关节炎且颈椎疼痛加剧和活动受限的患者。每例病例都显示出特定的影像学特征。因此，这些病例说明了银屑病关节炎轴向型累及颈椎的不同方面，并强调了对银屑病关节炎轴向疾病进行正确评估和管理的重要性。
