ABSTRACT
Insulinoma is a rare tumor of beta cells of islets of
Langerhans. It is characterized by uncontrolled and
excessive secretion of insulin, resulting in
hypoglycemia after prolonged fasting or exercise. As
part of the surgery to treat this condition, the
anesthetic management poses a challenge for the
anesthesiologist due to the difficulties in maintaining
normal blood glucose levels. We present the case of
an insulinoma patient who underwent capillary blood
glucose monitoring during surgery every ten
minutes. This allowed keeping blood glucose levels
within normal limits. The use of balanced general
anaesthesia with endotracheal intubation led to a
successful surgical procedure, which was guided by
an intraoperative ultrasound.
