"Bernard Connor (1666-1698) 3, an Irish anatomist, was the first to thoroughly describe an ankylosed human spine in 1694, using a disinterred human spine for his M.D. thesis. The French neurologist Pierre Marie (1853 -1940) 6 described an ankylosed spine as 'fait rigide comme un baton' ('rigid as a stick'); hence the eponymous name Marie-Strumpell disease. However, it was Krebs in 1930 who first used the term bamboo to describe the radiographic appearance of this condition 1-4."
"There is also accompanying squaring of the anterior vertebral body margins with associated reactive sclerosis of the vertebral body margins (shiny corner sign) 5. Together, these give the impression of undulating, continuous lateral spinal borders on AP spinal radiographs and resemble a bamboo stem; hence the term bamboo spine."
