Unlike the fasting hypoglycemias, the reactive hypoglycemias, including
postgastrectomy hypoglycemia, are generally not believed to result in
serious neuropsychiatric dysfunction. The authors describe two patients
with progressive mental deterioration and alimentary hypoglycemia and
suggest that clinicians should recognize the possibility of serious
neuropsychiatric sequelae of postgastrectomy hypoglycemia.
