Zusammenfassung
Die ankylosierende Spondylitis (AS) gilt als Prototyp der Spondylarthropathien, welche mit einer Prävalenz von 2 % zu den häufigsten rheumatischen Erkrankungen gerechnet werden. Die Spondylarthropathie umfasst die 5 Entitäten AS, reaktive Arthritis, Psoriasis arthropathica, enteropathische Arthritis bei Morbus Crohn und Colitis ulcerosa und die undifferenzierte Spondylarthropathie. Bei 99 % der Patienten mit AS sind die ersten pathologischen Befunde an den Sakroiliakalgelenken zu finden. Die zur Diagnose einer AS geforderten Röntgenbefunde treten erst mit einer Latenz von 5 - 9 Jahren nach Beginn der klinischen Symptome in Erscheinung. Mit Hilfe der MRT der Sakroiliakalgelenke lassen sich sowohl chronisch-entzündliche Veränderungen (Erosionen, Sklerosierungen, Knochenbrücken) als auch akut-entzündliche Veränderungen (Synovitiden, Kapsulitiden, Osteitiden) sicher nachweisen und bezüglich ihrer Chronizität und Akuität graduieren. Enthesitiden der Ligamenta interossea des Spatium retroarticulare gehören zum Bild der AS. Eine Spondylodiszitis (Andersson 1937) kann als entzündliche und als nichtentzündliche Form (transdiskaler Ermüdungsbruch) auftreten. Zur Ankylosierung führende Entzündungen der Facetten- und der kostospinalen Gelenke sind für die AS typisch. Veränderungen der Wirbelkörper finden sich als Spondylitis anterior (Romanus 1952), posterior und marginalis. Charakteristisch für alle Spondylarthropathien sind darüberhinaus asymmetrische Synovitiden an den großen Gelenken vor allem der unteren Extremität (Gonarthritis, Coxitis, Tarsitis, periphere Oligoarthritis), die Fibroostitis rheumatica (pelvine Enthesitis, Calcaneopathia rheumatica) und die Peri- und Synchondritiden der Symphysis pubica und der Synchondrosis sternalis. Da sich bei der AS frühe entzündliche Veränderungen an der Wirbelsäule und an den extravertebralen Manifestationsorten in der MRT vor deren Auftreten im Röntgenbild nachweisen lassen und damit die diagnostische Lücke geschlossen werden konnte, empfiehlt sich bei neuen therapeutischen Optionen mit den sogenannten „Biologicals” der frühe Einsatz der MRT zur Diagnostik und Verlaufskontrolle.
Abstract
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is the prototypical form of the spondyloarthropathies, which at a prevalence of 2 % is among the most frequent rheumatic diseases. Spondyloarthropathy comprises the following five disorders: AS, reactive arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, enteropathic arthritis in Crohn's disease, and ulcerosing colitis as well as undifferentiated spondyloarthropathy. In 99 % of the patients with AS initial abnormal findings affect the sacroiliac joints. The radiographic changes required for diagnosing AS occur as late as 5 - 9 years after the onset of clinical symptoms. MRI of the sacroiliac joints reliably demonstrates both chronic inflammatory changes (erosions, sclerotic changes, bone bridges) and acute inflammatory changes (synovitis, capsulitis, osteitis) and allows for grading the chronicity and acuity of such changes. Enthesitis of the interosseous ligaments of the retroarticular space is a manifestation of AS. Spondylodiscitis (Andersson 1937) may occur as an inflammatory or non-inflammatory process (transdiscal fatigue fracture). Inflammations of the facet and costospinal joints developing into ankylosis are typical of AS. Changes of the vertebral bodies occur as anterior (Romanus 1952), posterior, and marginal spondylitis. All forms of spondyloarthropathies are furthermore characterized by asymmetrical synovitis of the large joints, particularly of the legs (gonarthritis, coxitis, tarsitis, peripheral oligoarthritis), rheumatic fibroosteitis (pelvic enthesitis, rheumatic calcaneopathy), and peri- and synchondritis of the pubic symphisis and sternal synchondrosis. Since early inflammatory changes of the spinal column and of the extravertebral localizations in AS are demonstrated by MRI before they become apparent on radiographs, and thereby the diagnostic gap could be closed, the early use of MRI for diagnostic and follow-up is commendable, when new therapeutical options like the so-called “biologicals” are employed.
