Abstract

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory joint disorder characterized by sacroiliitis, spondylitis and enthesitis. Patients suffering from AS may also have extra-articular symptoms, such as uveitis, bowl disease, heart, lung, skin, bone and kidney involvement, but vary widely in severity and prevalence. Facial manifestation of AS include eye involvement and temporomandibular joint involvement. In this study, a case of an AS that mimicked dental pain was presented.
