[Differential diagnosis of malabsorption syndrome]
Abstract:
On the basis of two cases the development of a severe postoperative malabsorption syndrome after resection of the stomach with predisposition to a gastroenterostomia ileoterminalis. The fatal course in one of the patients is made the occasion to discuss the causes of the operatively conditioned failures and to demonstrate the symptomatology of a gastrointestinal anastomosis with a lower ileum loop. The duration of the disease can be retarded by insufficient examination technique. In postoperative distrubances of the passage as soon as possible the radiological control of the condition of the anastomosis including the whole samll intestine should be carried out.
