Ankylosing hyperostosis of the spine is described as osteophytic spurs or anterior osseous bridges with thickening of the corresponding vertebral cortex. The ossification includes the ligamentum longitudinale anterius and the peripheral part of the disc. Our patient had minor complaints but at the time of consultation was symptomatic.
