Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is the most common extraintestinal manifestation of IBD. SpA symptoms are not always recognized in patients with IBD. Subsequently, patients with symptoms of SpA can be underdiagnosed, with effective treatment delayed. Cooperation between gastroenterologists and rheumatologists is necessary and, ideally, an integrated management of these patients should be adopted.
