Abstract
Presently, bariatric surgery is considered the most effective treatment for reducing excess body weight and maintaining weight loss in severely obese. On the other hand, several early and late complications have been described after this procedure. This article reports two patients who developed a spondyloarthritis-like syndrome after bariatric surgery. Probable etiopathogenic mechanisms are discussed.Entities:
