  • Title: [Disturbance of gastric emptying in diabetes mellitus (author's transl)].
    Author: Forgács S.
    Journal: Rofo; 1975 Jun; 122(6):541-7. PubMed ID: 125711.
    Abstract:
    The author discusses abnormalities in gastric emptying due to diabetes mellitus, and in particular, diabetic gastroparesis, on the basis of his own experience and the relevant literature. Diabetic gastroparesis is a result of a diabetic neuropathy of the vagus. Even in the presence of mild abdominal symptoms, particularly with repeated hypoglycaemic episodes, this condition should be considered and the stomach should be examined readiologically. A diabetic phytobezoar may develop. It may be presumed that these changes are more common than had previously been realized. The author has observed six cases. The gastric atony associated with diabetic coma has to be differentiated from the condition under discussion. Conservative treatment is recommended.
