Endoscopic ultrasound-guided ethanol ablation of a symptomatic sporadic insulinoma.
neuroendocrine tumor (NET) which may lead to symptomatic fasting hypoglycemia. These often small lesions are primarily located in the pancreas. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has been found to be the optimal diagnostic modality for NET identification. Surgical resection of the tumor is the mainstay of therapy for an insulinoma. However, for a small subset of patients, particularly those who a...
متن کاملEndoscopic ultrasound-guided ethanol ablation therapy for pancreatic insulinoma: an unusual strategy
SUMMARY Insulinomas are the most frequent cause of hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia. Although surgical enucleation is the standard treatment, a few other options are available to high-risk patients who are elderly or present with co-morbidities. We present a case report of an 89-year-old female patient who was admitted to the emergency department due to recurrent hypoglycaemia, especially during...

متن کاملSuccessful Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Alcohol Ablation of Sporadic Insulinoma Using Three-Dimensional Targeting (with Video)
Surgical resection is considered the standard of care in the management of symptomatic insulinoma. In this video, we describe the successful management of a symptomatic insulinoma by using linear array endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided ethanol ablation in a poor surgical candidate. EUS-guided ethanol ablation of insulinoma offers a safer, effective, and less invasive alternative to surgery.
متن کاملSuccessful management of a sporadic pancreatic insulinoma by endoscopic ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation.
A 70-year-old woman presented with an 18-month history of recurrent episodes of dizziness that were alleviated by sugary drinks. During one of these episodes, a low blood glucose of 1.6mmol/L was noted. Her past medical history included atrial fibrillation and severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), necessitating long-term oxygen therapy. Given the high index of suspicion of sponta...
