Recent Advances in Managing Ankylosing Spondylitis with Andersson Lesion: A Clinical Overview and Case Report
AL s are chronic, often overlooked complications of AS that can lead to spinal instability and neurological deficits if untreated. Early recognition and management are critical to preventing progressive kyphotic deformities and associated complications. While conservative treatment remains the cornerstone for managing AL, surgical intervention may be required in cases of severe pain, deformity, or neurological involvement. Understanding AL's presentation and treatment options is vital for improving patient outcomes in AS.
