Abstract

We describe a 17-month-old child with dumping syndrome after plication of the right diaphragm. He presented with periods of abdominal distension and pallor, recurrent convulsions, glucosuria and refusal of feeding. After changing the diet the symptoms disappeared. Although dumping syndrome in children is rare, early recognition is important. Serial determination of blood glucose after bolus feeding can lead to the diagnosis. Treatment should consist of dietary changes.
