RAMOS-LEVI, Ana M. et al. Severe vitamin A deficiency after malabsortive bariatric surgery. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2013, vol.28, n.4, pp.1337-1340. ISSN 1699-5198. https://dx.doi.org/10.3305/nh.2013.28.4.6610.
Vitamin A deficiency may occur after malabsorptive bariatric surgery. However, it rarely entails important functionally limiting symptoms. We present the case of a woman who underwent bariatric surgery and developed ocular dryness, xeroderma and hearing loss due to severe vitamin A deficiency. We illustrate an outstanding and exceptional case of the consequences of an excessive and uncontrolled malabsorption.
