D-Lactate encephalopathy is a rare neurological condition linked to short bowel syndrome. This study details a patient with severe D-lactate buildup causing encephalopathy after extensive small intestine removal.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Metabolic Disorders

Background:

  • D-Lactate-associated encephalopathy is a rare syndrome seen in patients with short bowel syndrome.
  • It is hypothesized to stem from carbohydrate malabsorption leading to D-lactate overproduction by gut bacteria.
  • The exact neurotoxic role of D-lactate remains under investigation.
