Abstract:
Bypass surgery, as therapy for morbid obesity, was introduced in 1952. Multiple complications such as arthritis and dermatitis as well as liver dysfunction, renal injury, diarrhea, malnutrition and electrolyte imbalance were reported after bypass surgery. Recently, we have experienced a case of bypass arthritis-dermatitis syndrome in a patient after pyloric exclusion and bypass gastrojejunostomy due to traumatic duodenal perforation. He complained arthralgia of left knee, both wrist and both ankle and developed erythematous maculopapular rash over lower extremities. He was successfully treated with NSAIDs and clindamycin.
