#12 Ankylosing Spondylitis

In this episode we are joined by Rheumatology Specialist Registrar Dr Aine Connerton to discuss Ankylosing Spondylitis as a potential station in the Irish MRCPI Part II clinical exam.

We discuss the approach, physical findings, a differential diagnosis, investigations and management. We then go on to briefly talk through some potential follow-up questions including radiological findings, and extra articular manifestations.
