  Dumping syndrome (DS) is a condition where gastrointestinal and vasomotor symptoms happen as a consequence of gastric surgery. In pediatrics it has been described primarily after anti-reflux surgery. The diagnosis is clinical, but the oral glucose tolerance test can be useful if there are doubts.

  We present the cases of 8 patients with DS, 6 men and 2 women, aged between 13 months and 9 years old. Four patients had atresia of esophagus, 2 gastroesophageal reflux disease, 1 patient a congenital diaphragmatic hernia, and 1 a gastric tumor. All were treated with gastric surgery. In 7 of them fundoplication was performed, and in 4 piloroplastia. All patients had early dumping, and 6 had late dumping. In all patients oral glucose tolerance test confirmed the diagnosis. Dietary treatment was effective in 7 patients; 1 patient also required treatment with acarbose.

  Dietary treatment is effective in most patients with DS.
