Case Report: Identifying Andersson-Like Lesions in Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis

Andersson lesions (ALs) in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) pose a severe risk to the stability of ankylosed spine, which might result in significant deterioration of spinal cord function after traumatic or inflammatory causes. Herein, erosive discovertebral lesions in diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperos...
