[Neurological changes in insulinoma]. / Nevrologicheskie izmeneniia pri insulinome.

Hypoglycemic disease is characterized by neurasthenic and encephalopathic syndromes. Three stages, an initial one, a stage marked by pronounced alterations and rehabilitation one (after insulinoma removal) were distinguished. Hypoglycemic paroxysms manifest themselves by syncopal, epileptic, pseudostroke and psychomotor excitation. Of paramount importance for diagnosis are EEG studies during fasting or rastinon test. Surgical removal of insulinoma results in normalization of neurological disturbances.
