✦ Synopsis

Typical cauda equina syndrome secondary to longstanding ankylosing spondylitis is reported in a 63-yearold man. Radionuclide cisternography demonstrated a resorption defect of cerebrospinal fluid in the enlarged lumbosacral dural sac. After transient symptomatic improvement with acetazolamide, a lumboperitoneal shunt was placed. T h e rate of cerebrospinal fluid, isotope resorption became normal. In the 5 years of follow-up, partial remission has been observed.
