Anaesthetic Management of a Case of Insulinoma
Journal Title: GUJARAT CANCER SOCIETY RESEARCH JOURNAL - Year 2014, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
Insulinoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumour of the pancreas, which is usually small, solitary and benign. It may be part of the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 syndrome. It is diagnosed by clinical, biochemical and imaging modalities. Surgical resection is the curative treatment with a high success rate. Intraoperatively, ultrasound and surgical palpation help to confirm the site of tumour. Intraoperatively, maintenance of optimum glucose level is of main concern because there may be severe hypoglycemia while handling the tumour. Here we report anaesthetic management of a case of insulinoma.
