Abstract:
Foreatiers disease is a peculiar type of ankylosing hyperostosis of the spine characterized by ossification of the anterior and right lateral aspects of the vertebral column, particularly in the thoracic region. The clinical, pathological and reontgenographic features of the disorder allowed its differentiation from other spinal diseases including ankylosing spordylitis and osteoarthritis. A case of Forestiers disease is presented with brief review of literatures.
