Abstract (2. Language): 
Objectives: In this study we aimed to investigate the neurological complications in patients with ankylosing spondylitis involving the spine. Material and Methods: Forty-eight cases with ankylosing spondylitis were included in this study. Conventional radiogram, computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of cervical, thoracic and lumbar regions were obtained from each patient for examination of the neurological complications. Results: We identified single nerve root compression in two cases (4.16 %). One of them was in L3, and the other one was in L5 intervertebral disc space. The other neurological complications have not been observed. Conclusion: As a conclusion, we observed that; a) the frequency of neurological complications in patients with ankylosing spondylitis is not high, b) the localization of neurological complications is often the lumbar region, and c) the type of neurological complication is usually single nerve root compression.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Amaç: Bu çalışmamızda omurgayı tutan ankilozan spondilitli olgularda nörolojik komplikasyonların sıklığını araştırdık. Materyal ve metot: Omurga tutulumu olan ankilozan spondilit tanısı konulmuş 48 olgu çalışmaya alındı. Her hastanın servikal, torakal ve lumbosakral bölgelerinin direkt radyografileri, bilgisayarlı tomografileri ve magnetik resonans görüntüleri çekilerek nörolojik bulguları arandı. Bulgular: İki olguda tek sinir kökü basısı saptandı. Bunlardan bir tanesi L3, diğeri L5 sinir kök lezyonu idi (%4.16). Diğer nörolojik komplikasyonlar saptanamadı. Sonuç: Ankilozan spondilitli hastalarda nörolojik komplikasyonların daha çok tek sinir kökü lezyonu şeklinde ve daha çok lumbar bölgede olduğu saptandı ve nörolojik komplikasyonların nadir olduğu bulundu.
