Match each post-bariatric surgery clinical presentation with the most likely diagnosis or surgical complication.
- A 38-year-old female, 3 years status-post Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, presents with abrupt-onset, severe, colicky periumbilical pain and non-bilious emesis. CT abdomen demonstrates a mesenteric 'swirl' sign.Internal hernia through a mesenteric defect
- A 45-year-old male, 12 days status-post laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, presents with unexplained tachycardia of 125/min, fever of 38.6°C (101.5°F), and new-onset left upper quadrant pain radiating to the left shoulder.Gastric staple-line leak
- A 42-year-old female, 8 months status-post Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, presents with chronic burning epigastric pain, nausea, and recent onset of melena. She regularly uses naproxen for osteoarthritis.Gastrojejunal anastomotic marginal ulceration
- A 35-year-old female, 4 months status-post Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, reports lightheadedness, flushing, diaphoresis, and crampy abdominal pain occurring 15-30 minutes after consuming high-carbohydrate meals.Early dumping syndrome
Cevap
Internal hernia matches with colicky pain and CT swirl sign. Gastric staple-line leak matches with early post-operative tachycardia and fever. Marginal ulceration matches with NSAID use and melena. Early dumping syndrome matches with postprandial vasomotor symptoms.
Each bariatric complication has a distinct presentation: internal hernias present with small bowel obstruction and mesenteric twisting (swirl sign); leaks present early with sepsis and tachycardia; marginal ulcers are exacerbated by NSAID use and present with pain and bleeding; and dumping syndrome presents with vasomotor instability after high-carbohydrate meals.
