Resumen
GONZALEZ-CLAVIJO, Angélica María y FIERRO-MAYA, Luis Felipe. Patient with neuropsychiatric symptoms and insulinoma of difficult preoperative localization. rev.fac.med. [online]. 2014, vol.62, n.4, pp.637-640. ISSN 0120-0011. https://doi.org/10.15446/revfacmed.v62n4.44498.
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.
