Abstract
|
|
|
|
Sleeve gastrectomy may cause hypoglycemia and the symptoms usually are mild such as sweating, nausea, headache. It rarely results in irreversible neurologic deficit. A 34-year-old woman, who has past history of sleeve gastrectomy, was admitted due to acute onset of unconsciousness. Brain imaging revealed hypoglycemic encephalopathy but there is no other possible causes of hypoglycemia except sleeve gastrectomy. In clinical aspect, we suggest that clinicians should consider sleeve gastrectomy as possible cause of hypoglycemia if there were no other causes of hypoglycemia.
