Pregnancy may occur in patients with ankylosing spondylitis, a chronic inflammatory joint disease. This disease, which is included in the group of seronegative spondylarthropathies, may be characterized by both intra- and extra-articular manifestations. ⋯ Therefore, physicians caring for a pregnant patient with ankylosing spondylitis should be aware of the obstetric and anesthetic implications and the ramifications of active disease.
