Abstract

Non-insulinoma pancreatogenous hypoglycemia syndrome (NIPHS) is a disorder characterized by post-prandial hypoglycemia and islet cell hypertrophy. It is an uncommon complication of weight-loss surgery. However, with the rising incidence of gastric bypass surgeries, it is important to be able to recognize the clinical picture of NIPHS and not to incorrectly ascribe the symptoms to late dumping syndrome.
