It is a form of [[spondylopathy]]. In many cases, spondylitis involves one or more [[vertebral joint]]s, as well, which itself is called [[spondylarthritis]]. __TOC__ ==Types== [[Pott disease]] is a tuberculous disease of the vertebrae marked by stiffness of the [[vertebral column]], pain on motion, tenderness on pressure, prominence of certain vertebral spines, and occasionally abdominal pain, abscess formation, and paralysis. [[Ankylosing spondylitis]] (AS) is a form of arthritis that primarily affects the spine, although other joints can become involved. It causes inflammation of the spinal joints (vertebrae) that can lead to severe, chronic pain and discomfort. In more advanced cases this inflammation can lead to ankylosis—new bone formation in the spine causing sections of the spine to fuse in a fixed, immobile position. ~~[[Ankylosing spondylitis]] is an inflammatory disease involving the spine and [[sacroiliac joint]]s, so is also a form of spondylarthritis.~~ A combination of spondylitis and inflammation of the [[intervertebral disc space]] is termed a [[spondylodiscitis]]. Spondylitis is one of the most common causes of back and neck pain, and results from inflammation of the vertebral joints. The condition is often not detected until it has fully developed and is causing pain. The pain is usually concentrated around the cervical region of the neck, shoulder, and lower spine, with downward-moving, stinging pain. Types of spondylitis include cervical spondylitis, which affects the cervical spine, causing pain to spread to the back of the neck; lumbar spondylitis, which causes pain in the lumbar region; and ankylosing spondylitis, which is primarily a disease that affects the sacroiliac joints, causing stiffness in the neck, jaw, shoulders, hips and knees.{{Citation needed\|date=November 2017}} == References == {{Reflist}} * [http://www.spondylitis.org/about/faq.aspx Spondylitis FAQ] * [https://www.niams.nih.gov/health-topics/ankylosing-spondylitis National Institutes of Health] == External links == * [https://www.niams.nih.gov/health-topics/ankylosing-spondylitis National Institutes of Health] {{Dorsopathies}}▼ {{Medical resources \| DiseasesDB = 27077 \| ICD10 = {{ICD10\|M46}} \| ICD9 = {{ICD9\|721.90}} \| ICDO = \| OMIM = \| MedlinePlus = \| eMedicineSubj = \| eMedicineTopic = \| MeshID = D013166 }} {{Authority control}} ▲{{Dorsopathies}} [[Category:Vertebral column disorders]]
