强直性脊柱炎与腰椎间盘突出症的关系

Relation between ankylosing spondylitis and lumbar intervertebral disk protrusion

对３２例强直性脊柱炎并腰椎间盘突出症患者进行临床观察，发现脊柱炎的存在增加了发生椎间盘突出的机率；椎间盘突出的发生又加重了脊柱炎症与神经根性损伤的程度。认为对此早期确诊，及时有效控制炎症，增加脊柱稳定性，以及神经根减压，标本兼治，对减轻神经损伤、降低致残率、提高疗效具有重要意义。

Through the clinical observations of 32 cases of ankylosing spondylitis with lumbar intervertebral disk protrusion,it was found that the existence of the former could increase the incidence of the latter;the occurrence ofthe latter, in turn,could increase the severity of the former and nerve-root injury. It was considered that early diagnosis,prompt and effective control of inflammation, increase of spinal stability, nerve-root decompression,and treating both the principal and the secondary aspects of the disease is of great importance for abating nervous injury,reducing disabled rate and improving therapeutic effects.
