Abstract

The correlation between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and articular involvement has long been well known, but a nosographic classification was proposed only in the early 1970s, when two clinical forms of chronic intestinal inflammation were identified: Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). Both conditions were considered to be responsible for the peculiar forms of arthritis seen in a subset of patients with seronegative spondyloarthritides (SnSp) (Fig. 18.1) [1]. Numerous clinical and experimental findings subsequently drew strong attention to the enormous relevance of the relationship between IBD and either axial or peripheral articular inflammations [2,3].

Linical conditions belonging to the group of seronegative spondyloarthritides (SnSp). IBD. inflammatory bowel disease: SAPHO, synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis
