  • Title: [Severe hypoglycaemia due to insulinoma after gastric bypass surgery].
    Author: Sjøbjerg A, Poulsen PL, Kramer S, Richelsen B.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 2018 Apr 23; 180(17):. PubMed ID: 29717701.
    Abstract:
    Postprandial hypoglycaemia with endogenous hyper-insulinaemia is relatively common after gastric bypass (GB) surgery. However, alternative aetiologies of hypoglycaemia should be kept in mind. We report a case of severe hypo-glycaemia in a patient who had previously undergone GB surgery for morbid obesity. Hypoglycaemic episodes differed from typical GB-related hypoglycaemia by occurring during fasting periods. Examination revealed insulinoma, and nine months after resection the patient remained symptom free.
