It is more common in men and produces generalised stiffness in involved joints. Clinician should be suspicious of AS when a patient reports with painful restricted movements of joint, neck or back and with no trauma history. Conventional radiographic methods have allowed the demonstration of TMJ abnormalities in patients with AS, but CT is necessary to establish joint space relations and bony morphology. We describe a case of severe AS with TMJ involvement in a 40-year-old female patient and demonstrated TMJ changes on CT. A CT was able to demonstrate articular cartilage changes, disc- and joint abnormalities. Thus, if conventional radiographs in a symptomatic patient with rheumatic diseases are unable to demonstrate changes, CT can provide valuable additional information of the changes in the TMJ.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/bcr-2013-009386","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,5,3]],"date-time":"2013-05-03T03:52:45Z","timestamp":1367553165000},"page":"bcr2013009386","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Temporomandibular joint involvement in ankylosing spondylitis"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"2013","author":[{"given":"Pallak","family":"Arora","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Kalka Dental College Hospital and Research Centre, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Janardhan","family":"Amarnath","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontics, Teerthankar Mahaveer Dental College & Research Centre, Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Setru Veerabhadrappa","family":"Ravindra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine & Radiology, Teerthankar Mahaveer Dental College & Research Centre, Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mandeep","family":"Rallan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pedodontics & Preventive Dentistry, Teerthankar Mahaveer Dental College & Research Centre, Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,5,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025082804401661000_2013.may02_1.bcr2013009386.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"103","DOI":"10.1136\/ard.56.2.103","article-title":"Temporomandibular joint osseous morphology in a consecutive sample of ankylosing spondylitis patients","volume":"2013","author":"Ramos-Remus","year":"1997","journal-title":"Ann Rheum Dis"},{"key":"2025082804401661000_2013.may02_1.bcr2013009386.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"205","DOI":"10.1016\/S1010-5182(96)80003-5","article-title":"Involvement of the temporomandibular joints in ankylosing spondylitis (Bechterew's disease)","volume":"2013","author":"Locher","year":"1996","journal-title":"J Craniofac Surg"},{"key":"2025082804401661000_2013.may02_1.bcr2013009386.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"76","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02032322","article-title":"Clinical study of Thai patients with ankylosing spondylitis","volume":"2013","author":"Deesomchok","year":"1985","journal-title":"J Clin Rheumatol"},{"key":"2025082804401661000_2013.may02_1.bcr2013009386.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"159","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bjoms.2008.08.020","article-title":"Bilateral ankylosis of the jaw treated with total alloplatic replacement using the TMJ concepts system in a patient with ankylosing spondylitis","volume":"2013","author":"Manemi","year":"2009","journal-title":"Br J Oral and Maxillofac Surg"},{"key":"2025082804401661000_2013.may02_1.bcr2013009386.5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"87","DOI":"10.1136\/ard.34.1.87","article-title":"Temporo-mandibular joint disease in ankylosing spondylitis","volume":"2013","author":"Davidson","year":"1975","journal-title":"Ann Rheum Dis"},{"key":"2025082804401661000_2013.may02_1.bcr2013009386.6","first-page":"54","article-title":"Treatment of ankylosing spondylitis with special reference to biologics: single centre experience","volume":"2013","author":"Ghosh","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Indian Rheumatol Assoc"},{"key":"2025082804401661000_2013.may02_1.bcr2013009386.7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1114","DOI":"10.1097\/SCS.0b013e318176ac3b","article-title":"Hyperplasia of the coronoid process in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (Bechterew disease)","volume":"2013","author":"Wenghoefer","year":"2008","journal-title":"J Craniofac Surg"},{"key":"2025082804401661000_2013.may02_1.bcr2013009386.8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"455","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tripleo.2004.06.079","article-title":"Clinical and radiographic findings of the temporomandibular joint in patients with various rheumatic diseases.
