  • Title: [Gastroparesis diabeticorum and bezoar (author's transl)].
    Author: Drui-Berk M, Drui S, de Laharpe F, Schlienger JL.
    Journal: Sem Hop; ; 55(5-6):265-8. PubMed ID: 219538.
    Abstract:
    Gastroparesis diabeticorum has been isolated by Kassander in 1958. Since that time, 65 well documented cases have been published. Very often the patients are asymptomatic and the disorder is discovered by an occasional X-ray examination of the G-I tract. But, sometimes, the diabetes of these patients becomes brittle and they loose weight; bezoar, gastroplegia and hemorrhages may occur. We report two additional cases with severe undernutrition and bezoar. The gastroparesis may be related to a vagal neuropathie. The treatment is disappointing; metoclopramide gives the best improvement.
