Abstract
This is the first report about the association of ankylosing spondylitis and myotonia congenita. Ankylosing spondylitis is a systemic rheumatologic disease that is characterized by axial skeletal inflammation and accompanied by systemic involvement. The most significant findings of myotonia are the stiffness and the delayed relaxation following the muscle contraction. Both of these pathologies can cause stiffness and also delaying of diagnosis of each other. Key words: Ankylosing spondylitis, myotonia congenita, stiffness

Abstract
Bu vaka ankilozan spondilit ve myotoni konjenitanın birlikte görüldüğü ilk sunumdur. Ankilozan spondilit aksiyal iskelet inflamasyonu ve sistemik tutulumla karekterize sistemik romatolojik bir hastalıktır. Miyotoninin en belirgin bulgusu tutukluk ve kas kasıldıktan sonra gevşeme gecikmesidir. Tutukluk ve tanı gecikmesi bu iki hastalıkta ortak bulgudur
