Neurologic complications after gastric restriction surgery for morbid obesity
Abstract
We report the occurrence of neurologic complications in 23 patients who underwent gastric restriction surgery for the treatment of morbid obesity. Complications occurred 3 to 20 months after surgery. All the patients had had protracted vomiting for the first 3 months after the operation. The following syndromes were found: chronic or subacute symmetric polyneuropathy (12 patients), acute severe polyneuropathy (1 patient), burning feet syndrome (2 patients), meralgia paresthetica (3 patients), myotonic syndrome (1 patient), posterolateral myelopathy (2 patients), and Wernicke-Korsakoff encephalopathy (2 patients). The patients suffering from burning feet syndrome and those with Wernicke-Korsakoff encephalopathy showed a clear improvement after parenteral thiamine treatment. As to the rest of the patients, the occurrence of the complications seems to be linked to nutritional causes, although no such deficiencies were detected.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
