Although there are few conditions which can mimic similar findings as Seronegative axial spondyloarthropathies i.e Ankylosing spondylitis however it does need to rule out. AS is not a condition solely diagnosed on the basis of MRI , a clinician need to take a proper history and perform physical exam. You are more than welcome to contact our Rheumatology services for appropriate assessment.
