Fig. 1A —33-year-old man with ankylosing spondylitis. T2-weighted
(A) and T1-weighted (B) sagittal images show multiple-quadrant
MR corner lesions (arrowheads) in anterior corners at L1–L2,
L2–L3, and L3–L4 and triangular MR corner lesions
(arrows) in anterior corners at T12–L1 and L2–L3 and
posterior corner at L2–L3.
