  Fig. 1 A and B: Pelvic and C-spine x-rays showing sacroiliitis and bamboo spine, respectively. C and D: Spine MRI images showing high signal intensity on T2WI from T10 to the conus medullaris at the first attack (arrowhead). E: Brain MRI image showing high signal intensity on T2WI in the left occipital lobe at the first attack. F and G: Spine MRI image showing high signal intensity on T2WI from T1 to T3 at the second attack (asterisk). H: Brain MRI image showing high signal intensity on T2WI in the right dorsal medulla at the third attack (arrow). MRI: magnetic resonance imaging, T2WI: T2-weighted imaging.
