Abstract

A 34-year-old man had progressive, poorly controlled low back pain for 3 years before testing confirmed a diagnosis of ochronosis. This is the first case description of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearance of spinal ochronosis, which should be considered when advanced degenerative change is seen on spinal MRI in young individuals.
