Fig. 5A 59-year-old woman on hemodialysis for 15 years for chronic
glomerulonephritis with biopsy-proven dialysis-related amyloidosis. Lateral
radiograph of cervical spine shows erosive spondyloarthropathy from C2 through
C7 intervertebral levels, with narrowing of intervertebral disk space and
extensive erosion and reactive sclerosis of adjacent vertebral endplates.
Segments C2 through C5 are particularly affected. No relevant osteophytosis is
evident; 10-mm anterolisthesis of body of C2 on C3 (black curved
arrow) and 5-mm anterolisthesis of body of C3 on C4 (white curved
arrow) are apparent. Resorption of C3 and C4 anterior margins
(straight arrows) is also shown, a finding similar to that of
infectious spondylodiscitis.
