    Abstract:
    Cauda equina syndrome is a rare neurological complication of ankylosing spondylitis. The specific myelographic and tomodensitometric anomalies are exemplified by the reported observation. This case is unusual by the moderation of the neurological manifestations, and especially by the absence of sphincteral disorders. The characteristic roentgenologic signs of ankylosing spondylitis are associated with a scalloped appearance of the lumbar spinal column and antecedent quiescent acromegaly.
