Abstract
Extra-articular manifestations (EAMs) in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are common and most extra-articular manifestations such as acute iritis and inflammatory bowel disease are positively correlated with disease activity of AS. Vasculitis is an extra-articular manifestation of AS. However cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis (CLV) is uncommon in AS patients. In this article, we report a case of a 66-year-old female patient who has had AS for long time. Although the patient's articular manifestations were stable, the aortic aneurysm and CLV continued to occur sequentially. This article reminds clinicians that even AS patients with stable articular manifestations should be followed up regularly. All extra-articular manifestations of AS patients should be taken seriously and treated as soon as possible under the guidance of rheumatoid immunologists.
