Abstract:
Dumping syndrome has long been associated with gastric surgery. The authors experienced an adult patient presenting with dumping syndrome after meningitis without any previous surgical procedures on the stomach and small bowel. Dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system after infective meningitis may originate from postinfectious sequelae or an immunologic mechanism. A comprehensive study and proper management of autonomic symptoms of patients with a central nervous system infection are needed.
