Abstract
- Hyperammonaemia is a metabolic disorder with elevated blood ammonia levels. Here we describe a case of hyperammonaemia associated encephalopathy as an incredibly rare, potentially fatal and treatable complication associated with bariatric surgery. This case highlights the importance of longer-term follow-up after bariatric surgery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
