| Summary: | This paper describes the case of a patient with neuropsychiatric
symptoms who was diagnosed with hyperinsulinemic
hypoglycemia with high suspicion of insulinoma, even after
conventional diagnostic imaging was unable to locate it. A
selective angiography of the pancreatic arteries and a calcium
stimulation test were conducted to determine its location.
The patient underwent a distal pancreatectomy using an
intraoperative ultrasound, resulting in the disappearance of
her symptoms. |
