    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Bariatric Surgery

    Background:

    • Jejunoileostomy is a surgical procedure for obesity treatment.
    • Neurological complications following bariatric surgery require investigation.

    Observation:

    • A neurological syndrome including confusion, slurred speech, and unsteadiness was observed.
    • This syndrome occurred in 7 out of 110 patients post-jejunoileostomy.

    Findings:

    • Episodes tend to recur in affected patients.
    • Electroencephalogram (EEG) changes were reversible.
    • No definitive cause was identified, but metabolic encephalopathy is suspected.

    Implications:

    • Early recognition and management of this syndrome are crucial.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the exact mechanisms.
  • Dietary modifications and nutritional support may be beneficial treatments.
