Abstract
- Insulinoma is a rare tumor occurring more often in the older age range. Because of the neuroglycopenic symptoms initial misdiagnosis or the delayed diagnosis are frequent. We recently experienced a case of insulinoma in a 50-year-old female with the symptoms of complex partial seizure, who had been treated with the antiepileptic drugs. Hypoglycemia was detected and the parenteral supplement of glucose rapidly reversed her symptoms, and the prolonged fasting test showed the pattern of insulinoma. Curative surgery was performed. So we report a case of insulinoma with the review of literature.
