title: [Afferent loop syndrome as an epiphenomenon of neoplasms of the gastric stump].
abstract: A clinical case is the basis for a report on the possibility that afferent loop syndrome might present as an epiphenomenon in gastric stump cancer. Stress is laid above all on the rarity of the syndrome and on the clinical and diagnostic difficulties of demonstrating it. The possibility that it might be a pointer to a pathology of greater clinical importance is pointed out.
