In patients with Crohn's Disease, symptoms of inflammatory back pain (IBP) precede changes on plain X-rays by years, and MRI changes of axial inflammation precede development of X-ray changes. Sacroiliitis on MRI without x-ray changes (i.e.Non radiographic SpA) is a valid diagnostic criterion for Spondyloarthritis (SpA) and leads to earlier diagnosis of SpA in patients with IBP. It is unclear when MRI changes occur, and if they precede clinical symptoms of IBP. There are reports of asymptomatic sacroiliitis noted on MRI in Crohn's patients. This is important, as MRI evidence of inflammation may be the first sign of incipient SpA. Inflammation in other regions of the axial skeleton in SpA patients has also been documented, but its significance is unknown. The prospect of undiagnosed and untreated inflammation is concerning, as it can lead to significant morbidity. Moreover, relationship between MRI evidence of axial inflammation-likely a proxy for systemic inflammation- and patient reported outcomes (e.g. ASDAS-CRP= Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score- C reactive protein, BASDAI= Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index, SF-12 = Short Form- 12, HBI= Hervey Bradshaw Index and PROMIS-29= Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System-29), has not been reported. Recent unpublished data from Dr. Longman's lab (collaborator) suggest a distinct intestinal dysbiosis in Crohn's associated SpA. But relationship between this microbiome and MRI changes is yet to be determined.
