Article Synopsis
- Nesidioblastosis is a rare pancreatic condition characterized by the enlargement of beta cells that produce excessive insulin, leading to fasting hypoglycemia.
- A 53-year-old woman diagnosed with the condition underwent various imaging tests which initially showed no abnormalities, but selective arterial calcium stimulation confirmed increased insulin production from some pancreatic arteries.
- The diagnosis was confirmed through histopathology after surgery, and post-operation, the patient achieved normal glucose levels and resolved hypoglycemia, indicating a limited extent of the disease within the pancreas.
