[Advanced-stage ankylosing spondylitis in a subject in the 8th century].
Paleopathological study of an adult male skeleton, coming from a Hungarian archeological site from the 8th century, revealed lesions of the spine (ankylosing vertebral syndesmophytosis, costo-vertebral ankylosis, discal calcifications), of the sacro-iliacs (bilateral ankylosis) and several extraspinal changes (abnormalities of symphysis pubis, enthesopathies). Radiological and CT investigations confirmed the diagnosis of advanced stage ankylosing spondylitis.
