Heterogenic clinical manifestation of hypoglycaemia in patients with insulinoma

#3307

Introduction: Insulinomas are very rare neuroendocrine tumors. Clinically, these tumors are manifested by episodes of hypoglycaemia. Classically, these symptoms are called as "Whipple's triad" and include symptoms of hypoglycaemia, low glycaemia, and disappearance of these difficulties after glucose ingestion. Recognition of clinical symptomatology of hypoglycaemia is essential for early diagnosis and treatment.

Aim(s): In our work, we decided to focus on the clinical manifestations of hypoglycaemia.

Materials and methods: All patients with clinically diagnosed insulinoma were included in the set. Retrospective analysis provided data on clinical manifestations, duration of disease, time to set a correct diagnosis, and misdiagnosis.
