Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
The Romanus lesion represents an early finding in inflammatory spondyloarthropathy, initially described as irregularity and erosion involving the anterior and posterior edges of the vertebral endplates1. Healing response to these inflammatory erosions appears radiographically as reactive sclerosis, which is known as the shiny corner sign.
