Abstract

Dumping syndrome is a common complication of esophageal or gastric surgery. Patients with late dumping syndrome usually suffer from hypoglycemic symptoms such as palpitation, tremor, and general weakness. Hypoglycemia induced convulsive seizure due to late dumping syndrome is rarely reported. We report a 46-year-old man with postprandial hypoglycemic convulsive seizure as the first symptom of late dumping syndrome.
