A case of alkaptonuria with root canal stenosis.
Spinal involvement in alkaptonuria is common. Patients usually present in the third or fourth decade with spondylosis or acute intervertebral disc prolapse. Alkaptonuria with root canal stenosis has however hitherto not been reported. We wish to report one such patient.
