Answer:

Ankylosing spondylitis

Step-by-step explanation:

an inflammatory disease of the spine, sacroiliac joints, and occasionally extra-articular structures, including the eye. It also is known as Marie-Strümpell disease. The cause of ankylosing spondylitis is unknown, but autoimmune-mediated mechanisms have been implicated.
