19
Q

Spondylophytes, loss of disc height, facet hypertrophy, vacuum sign, spondylolisthesis

Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH)

24
Q

Neurotrophic Arthropathy:
Associated with diabetes

A

Hypertrophic

25
Q

Neurotrophic Arthropathy:
Syringohydromyelia
Simulates a sharp amputation of the articular end of the bone: resorption and tapered ends
