    HISTORY

    A 47-year-old woman presented with a 5-year history of intermittent episodes of excruciating back pain confined to the sacral area. There was no radiation of pain, but the right leg occasionally "gave way." The back pain usually resolved spontaneously with rest. Recently, she complained of urinary incontinence.

    Findings at physical examination were as follows: joint laxity, bilateral iridodonesis, and decreased vibration sensation of the toes. During the course of her work-up, magnetic resonance (MR) imaging , echocardiography , and slitlamp examination of the eye were performed.
