A case report describing destructive osteolytic changes in the cervical spine in a patient with ankylosing spondylitis and a partial transverse lesion. The differential diagnosis is discussed with reference to the literature. The possibility of surgical stabilization - which in this case was successful - to achieve relief from pain and improved mobility is pointed out.
