Sir Benjamin Brodie (1783–1862) described in 1850, a case of a man whose
disease started when he was 27 years old, becoming completely rigid within
6 years, had a long continued rheumatism of the spine, with a ‘hoop-like’ deformity
and occasionally suffering from in fl ammation of the eyes.
This would appear to be the fi rst reported case of uveitis in a patient with
ankylosing spondylitis.
