We report a case of a 38-year-old female who presented to the emergency department because of frequent attacks of hypoglycemia in the form of diaphoresis, loss of consciousness, and tonic-clonic seizures. Parathyroidectomy was performed for her when she was 10 years old. After the biochemical and radiological investigation, she has been diagnosed with Multiple Endocrine neoplasia type 1 due to the presence of insulinoma, parathyroid adenoma, and a pituitary microdenoma. Insulinoma is a rare condition, however it should be encountered in the differential diagnosis of an.. Read More»
