Journal Title: Journal of the Indian Medical Association - Year 2018, Vol 116, Issue 10
Abstract
Insulinomas are rare neuroendocrine tumors of pancreatic islet cells that retain the ability to produce and secrete inappropriately high insulin. The clinical symptoms of insulinoma are the subsequent to development of hypoglycemia. We herein present a case of one patient who had been symptomatic for 6 years with symptoms of early morning abnormal behavior and refractory epilepsy, which eventually was diagnosed as a case of Insulinoma and could be cured after successful removal of lesion. All patients with unexplained abnormal behavior and seizure disorder should have blood glucose level checked during the episode.
