Patients with SpA with spinal damage show higher mSASSS than the patients with PsA (p&lt;0.05). In patients with PsA, cervical spine is more often affected; 24\/33 patients (72.7%) compared with lumbar spine 11\/33 (33.3%). While in patients with SpA, syndesmophyte location was more evenly distributed; cervical 9\/14 (64.3%) and lumbar 10\/14 (71.4%).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Minimal radiographic spinal damage was observed in Belgian patients with PsA or SpA.
