Abstract
A review of the roentgen films and hospital charts in 100 examples of chronic ulcerative colitis showed a 6 per cent prevalence of ankylosing spondylitis. There were no differences in the course or severity of the colitis that distinguished the patients with spondylitis from the entire group. The radiologic features of the spinal involvement were identical to those seen in ankylosing spondylitis. The concurrence of these two diseases is of interest from an etiologic viewpoint but is not explained.Keywords
