Two men with longstanding ankylosing spondylitis (AS) developed spastic paraparesis. Extensive investigation failed to find a cause and it was concluded that some acute undetermined intrinsic spinal cord lesion had occurred. Similar descriptions in the past have been attributed to associated multiple sclerosis, but we suggest that the finding may represent a rare complication of AS with an unknown etiology.
两名患有长期强直性脊柱炎（AS）的男性出现了痉挛性截瘫。广泛检查未能找到病因，得出的结论是发生了某种急性不明原因的脊髓内在病变。过去类似的描述归因于合并的多发性硬化症，但我们认为这一发现可能代表AS一种病因不明的罕见并发症。
