Visual, brainstem auditory and somatosensory evoked potentials were studied in 30 patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Twenty-four patients were male and 6 were female. The mean age was 44 years and the mean duration of AS was 16 years (range 1-34 years). Evoked potential abnormalities affecting the visual pathways were recorded in 18 (60%) patients. Somatosensory evoked potentials were abnormal in 19 (63%) patients, and 9 patients had impaired function on brainstem auditory evoked potentials. The pathophysiology of these abnormalities is unknown. We recommend that caution be exercised in interpreting delayed evoked potentials if multiple sclerosis is suspected in a patient with AS.
对30例强直性脊柱炎（AS）患者进行了视觉、脑干听觉和体感诱发电位研究。其中男性24例，女性6例。平均年龄44岁，AS平均病程16年（范围1 - 34年）。18例（60%）患者记录到影响视觉通路的诱发电位异常。19例（63%）患者体感诱发电位异常，9例患者脑干听觉诱发电位功能受损。这些异常的病理生理学尚不清楚。我们建议，如果怀疑AS患者患有多发性硬化症，在解释延迟诱发电位时应谨慎。
