ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

We present a case of recurrent loss of consciousness, which was finally accurately diagnosed as late dumping syndrome twelve years after subtotal gastrectomy and successfully treated with acarbose. A 66-year old lean male was found unconscious repeatedly within one year. Oral glucose tolerance tests performed before and after acarbose treatment verified the diagnosis of late dumping syndrome. Acarbose can be used as a successful treatment modality for reactive hypoglycaemia due to late dumping syndrome by influencing the release of hormone.
RESUMEN
ANTECEDENTES Presentamos un caso de pérdida recurrente de conciencia, que fue finalmente diagnosticado con precisión como síndrome de dumping tardío, doce años después de la gastrectomía subtotal, y tratado con éxito con acarbosa. Un hombre magro de 66 años de edad fue encontrado inconsciente repetidas veces en un año. Las pruebas orales de tolerancia a la glucosa realizadas antes y después del tratamiento con acarbosa verificaron el diagnóstico de síndrome de dumping tardío. La acarbosa puede utilizarse como una modalidad de tratamiento acertado para la hipoglicemia reactiva debido al síndrome de dumping tardío por la influencia en la liberación de hormonas.
