These early investigators observed variable clinical pictures in their cases of spinal arthritis and frequently found that there was no direct relationship between the arthritic change and the intensity of the neurological symptoms. Spastic, atrophic, or hypertonic motor changes and irritative sensory phenomena, or occasionally anesthesia and flaccid paralysis were present in certain of their cases with arthritic changes in the vertebral column.In 1916 Nathan,4who had observed numerous cases of spinal arthritis with neurological symptoms, induced...Bibliography1.
