Discitis (with intervertebral disc destruction), found pathologically in the thoracic region of 8 out of 114 rheumatoid patients, is shown to derive and spread from primary rheumatoid involvement of the costovertebral joints. Erosion and destruction of bone may occur, followed by healing, visible radiologically as disc narrowing and posterolateral bony sclerosis and sometimes with ankylosis. There are few clinical symptoms, since most of these patients have limited locomotor function.
椎间盘炎（伴有椎间盘破坏）在114例类风湿患者中有8例在胸椎区域经病理检查发现，其起源于肋椎关节的原发性类风湿病变并由此扩散。可能会发生骨质侵蚀和破坏，随后愈合，在放射学上表现为椎间盘狭窄和后外侧骨质硬化，有时还伴有强直。临床症状较少，因为这些患者大多运动功能受限。
