We report a case of a 47-year-old male who presented with altered mental status. A review of his records revealed a weight loss of 20 lbs over the past 6 years, a recent hospitalization for idiopathic polyneuropathy with failure to thrive, and prior surgeries for peptic ulcer disease and small bowel obstruction. He was alert but had retrograde amnesia and peripheral neuropathy. A diagnosis was made, and the patient improved with treatment but was unfortunately left with irreversible neurological deficits. We discuss the importance of recognizing the extraintestinal manifestations of gastrointestinal dysfunction following gastrointestinal surgery.
