When involving inflammation, it can be called spondylitis. In contrast, a spondyloarthropathy is a condition involving the vertebral joints, but many conditions involve both spondylopathy and spondyloarthropathy. Examples include ankylosing spondylitis and spondylosis.
In cervical spondylosis, a patient may be presented with dull neck pain with neck stiffness in the initial stages of the disease. As the disease progresses, symptoms related to radiculopathy (due to compression of exiting spinal nerve by narrowed intervertebral foramen) or myelopathy (due to compression on the spinal cord) can occur.

[11] [4] There seems to be an immunological connection between the gut inflammation observed in Crohn's disease and ankylosing spondylitis. [12] It is known that, in comparison to healthy controls, people with ankylosing spondylitis and those related to them have higher intestinal permeability. [13]
Spondylitis is an inflammation of the vertebrae. It is a form of spondylopathy . In many cases, spondylitis involves one or more vertebral joints , as well, which itself is called spondylarthritis .
Other terms for the disease have included spondylitis, but this is incorrect because it implies that the condition is inflammatory in nature, like ankylosing spondylitis. [1] The condition is likely triggered by changes in the anulus fibrosus, the tough outer ring of the intervertebral disc. This disc degeneration causes osteophytes to grow in ...
Spondylodiscitis is the most common complication of sepsis or local infection, usually in the form of an abscess. [2] The main causative organisms are staphylococci, but potential organisms include a large number of bacteria, fungi, zoonoses. [2]
Axial spondyloarthritis is predominantly marked by inflammatory pain and/or stiffness affecting the lower back, hips and/or buttocks. [ 11 ] [ 12 ] The side affected may alternate. [ 11 ] Some may also experience symptoms in the eyes, rib cage, shoulders or cervical spine or neck as well.
Symptoms for spinal tumors may vary due to factors such as the type of tumor, the region of the spine, and the health of the patient. Back pain is the most common symptom and it can be a problem if the pain is severe, has a time frame that lasts longer than it would for a normal injury, and becomes worse while laying down or at rest.
